Ah I see why they do not eq each other now.  This is indeed quite subtle.
 My thought has always been that the exported contract function in module A
is the same exported contract function in module B, and they magically know
where they are being invoked, instead of having two separate wrappers.

Thanks for the explanation Robby.  I will see what I can do with this.
