I'm just a newbie/lurker, but I wonder why you suggest that, particulary
in that Representable is (so far) an adjective rather than a noun.  I'm
fairly sure nouns serve better as names for objects--is it different for
modules?

(That's not to say a new usage of representable as a noun could not be
"coined".  (My reference for the adjective bit is the current online
Merriam-Webster (m-w.com:
http://m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=representable&x=10&y=15)

Just trying to clarify my own thinking.
