This would be very very nice, but...

A module is a set of positive datatypes (tuples, objects, arrays, tables, and 
not to forget sets themselves) and negative datatypes (functions). They _could_ 
be bound to a type, therefore the module itself would get typed. But in Nim, 
this doesn't happen. Modules in Nim are unbound heterogeneous containers of any 
content, they are files. The majority of them contain generic (unbound) types. 
Therefore they need to be reevaluated over and over again and separate 
compilation is not possible.
