I'm not so much worried about emacs-module.c. I'm worried about what 
modules will do. If we tell programmers 'just call xmalloc' things will 
be easy for them. If not, they'll be more likely to make mistakes.

Is there some way xmalloc (actually, memory_full) can detect that it was 
invoked from a module rather than from ordinary Emacs code? If so, we 
could have memory_full do something different than call xsignal, in that 
case.
