Yes, that part would have been nice if it hadn't necessarily been true for the (forced) top-level folder of the module too. Don't get me wrong, I'm still impressed by what modules2 can do, but AFAICT at the moment it's of very limited use for my purposes and you already confirmed this impression in an earlier post yourself. Maybe you could introduce the concept of "anonymous" modules that would check out directly into the current working directory instead of into a folder of their name. Off the top of my head I would say that this would probably solve most if not all of my problems... > With few exceptions you can > express any of them in terms of each other. Unfortunately these few exceptions appear to be the crucial ones for me. I already explained about that on my previous thread.
