It doesn't have to search because you pass the modules to the 
compiler, just like we do now in the general case.

The search path and filename conventions are - today - just 
conventions, there's no requirement that the filename and module 
name match, which means you don't actually know what module a 
file is until it is parsed.

(which is quick and simple btw)
