(FWIW, I think "ModuleManager" is a rather bad name :-)
+1. XxxManager is what Java programmers call their classes when they are
forced to have an
unnecessary class because they don't have 1st class functions or modules.
(I don't like 'Context Manager' either, but it's too late to change it :( )
I'm open to suggestions, but the thing does manage the module so it at
least makes sense.
But what do you mean by managing? 'Manage' has many meanings.
Once you've answered that question you should have your name.
It manages the context, as in the above reference to context manager.
In this case the context is the loading and unloading of a module. Having
context managers names end with manager helps indicate how it's used.
But other verb+er combinations also work. Taking a hint from the first few
words of the __doc__ string gives us an obvious alternative.
ModuleProvider
