[JDEV] why mod_basic_*?

[Thomas Charron]

Quoting Russell Nelson <nelson at crynwr.com>:

  You very well could.  But for simplicity, since we *ARE* dealing with shared
libraries here, it's better when looking at logs, etc, to be able to have the
module data along with the function.  We may have 5 modules loaded, and looking
at the debugging data is a whole lot easier if we can see the module in the
function name..  Otherwise, you may get two or three messages from different
modules, all with the same function name, and be rather hard to debug.

  To each their own..  ;-P
