Oh sure, this happens *ALL* the time in the Government::Accountability
module.  You'd be surprised how many times the entire function of
variables is just to point back to another module.

I think the module President::Truman[1] was the last one that had a
special flag ("BuckStopsHere=1"), but I can't remember if it affected the
entire Government package...
