Is it possible to save a board as a module for reuse?   

As an example imagine the following scenario.  I have a circuit which 
is mostly a repetition of a single circuit plus some other random 
logic.  I want to create schematics of the section that will repeat and 
lay it out with PCBNEW.  Then save the complete layout as a "module".   

Now I go to the component editor and create a component symbol with 
pins corresponding to the repetitive section's input/output.  In 
EESCHEMA I will use this symbol to represent each repetitive section 
and create the complete schematic with multiple instances of this 
component.  

In CVPCB I will assign previously saved board to each instance of the 
component and in PCBNEW each of these modules will be the full layout 
of the board.

Can in anyway or form this be done with the current version of 
KiCAD?
