or better, add to ClassLoader:

protected <S> Iterable<S> services(Class<S> service, Class<?> reference) {
   return ServiceLoader.load(service); // or .load(service, this)? TBD
}

with an override in ModuleClassLoader, and to Class:

public final <S> Iterable<S> services(Class<S> service) {
   return getClassLoader().services(service, this);
}

offering better flexibility for module systems generally.
