I've had need for a feature like that, too. Luckily in my case, I only 
needed to get the name of the current module (within some mixed-in code), so 
I was able to hack my way through with a dummy var and some mangle/demangle 
gymnastics. I definitely agree that a more general "get module of symbol" is 
needed.
