   Yes, Rob suggested this method on IRC this evening, but it seems to
further complicate the maters as i was trying to unref one module
reference and this way i'll get two to worry about.

    One thing that i found out is that module can't really be
unloaded. E.g if i load a module (either using use-modules or
resolve-module), unload/unuse it (using the code you showed me), edit
the module and then load it again, i don't get my changes; instead the
same old version of module get's loaded, which means the module didn't
get unloaded.
