Proper term for non-automatic modules

[Nicolai Parlog]

 Hi!

While describing the difference between automatic and non-automatic
modules I often need a term do describe the modules that are not
automatic (as I did twice just now).

As far as I know there is no such term. There are a few related ones but
unless I missed something none describes quite the right set:

* named modules include automatic modules
* platform modules leave out user-created modules
* application modules include automatic modules
  (if they don't, then `{ platform } ∪ { application }` is
   the right set)

I think a term for `{ named } ∖ { automatic }` is important when
discussing automatic modules and it would be very helpful if the Jigsaw
team coins it.

My suggestions are "explicit", "proper", and "manual" modules.

 so long ... Nicolai
