We can't support stand-alone executables for non-`module' languages
(except those that can be converted into a `module' easy, such as
programs in the teaching languages).
The top level is too dynamic. As a result, figuring out which code goes
into an executable becomes impossible in theory, and we found it
prohibitively difficult to do well in practice.
So, the only good option for this kind of task to use `module'.
