For `(module* _name #f ....)', `begin-for-syntax' shifts the phase
level of the enclosing module's bindings relative to the submodule. An
enclosing `begin-for-syntax' has no effect on a `module' submodule or
`module*' with a module path instead of `#f', though.

(This is documented with `module*'.)
