probably this is going to be a political/religious debate what are 
V.I.Modules. I think it is ok if, based on first come first served, each 
modules takes a prefix and sticks to it. For example, dispatcher uses 
ds_, carrierroute cr_, usrloc ul_ ...

I think good naming of the module is important -- it should say as much 
as possible about provided functionality. But using module name as 
prefix might be too long some times.

Daniel
