I think this mean that "automatic" reads "explicit" and all other
modules that the recursive enumeration of "explicit" brings to the
graph. This AutomaticTest can refer to any of the public types in any of
the packages exported by the modules. There was a suggestion in one of
the mails that the set of default modules (all those in the run-time
image that export an API) would also be resolved but I don't think this
is the case here.
