As you can see the wrapper isn't need - actual when the module is compiled
its source gets copied inside a wrapper ...
$:/tags/Macro is used for wikitext macros, js marcos have an extra field
'modules-type' set to 'macro'.
all js tiddlers need a 'modules-type' otherwise they will not get compiled.
In the case of your 'shared.js' it needs 'modules-type' but leave the
value blank.
