In the ModulePath idea from [2], the module name (and an optional 
version) are encoded as a directory name, which is assumed to be a child 
of a -modulepath directory reference. From page 10:

    src/modules/com.foo.app/com/foo/HelloWorld.java
                           /module-info.java
               /com.bar.app/com/bar/Baz.java
                           /module-info.java

where "src/modules" is the -modulepath reference (apologies if the 
formatting didn't make it through ;^).

Are you assuming that the child directory name is required to match the 
name (and version) declared within the enclosed module-info.java file? 
Or would this simply be a useful convention?

IOW, is there some lookup logic assumed here, allowing the compiler to 
search for the module-info for "com.bar.app" without cracking open the 
module-info files?
