ModuleInfo extends AnnotatedElement

[Roger Riggs]

Thanks, Mark,

Where can I find the history on the lack of version numbers in virtual 
modules.

I would think that even when using a virtual module the version number 
would matter.
Or that providing a virtual module would mean providing a particular 
version of that module.
I guess I'm missing some background.
