Sure; I've seen such a thing done before.  However, it doesn't work
with the objects in question and, even if it did, it turns out that we
can't put much more here than "sorry, but source for this module isn't
and can't be made available."

... which turns out to be exactly the same thing we've been saying all
along.

In other words, if you want the answer as to what the specific
restriction might be, I'm afraid we can't divulge that, and even if we
could, it likely would do you no amount of good.  "Can't" is all we
can say.
