You'd have to modify DrScheme and/or MzScheme, such as replacing the
handler that's in "src/mzscheme/startup.ss".

A configurable module-name resolver was a bad idea. The job of the
module system is to establish a universal namespace as much as
possible, and if you can extend that namespace, then it wasn't
universal after all. Many of our tools have always assumed the built-in
resolution, and that assumption has become more formalized in v3.99
(e.g., with `module-path?').
