This may be interesting for monitoring/observability purposes but it's 
not really something for a user facing API. Module layers may be 
transient (as you know) and it would add overhead to track. Using the 
snapshot of all loaded classes, which is exposed for observability 
purposes, should just work without needing additional API.
