Thinking more about it, I was wrong. The problem is linked-in modules. We
obviously cannot "overload" them with external file. It means, that the above
command must fail with some error message. This creates ugly special case. The
same applies to your idea.

If we use just module name + path search, it works nicely for linked-in
modules as well. Just assume (and document) that linked-in modules are
implicitly prepended to module_path and so always "found" first.
