Yes, yes.  I wanted to document this for quite a while already, but it
had to compete with hacking on guile-lightning...

We should probably start with a list of ways that compiled code might
be used in relation to the module system, like:

- A module might be provided completely by compiled code.

- Compiled code might provide only part of a module.

- Compiled code might want to provide bindings only on demand (to save
  initialization time) even if it has been linked already.

etc...
