It is related, but not by inclusion e.g. the generated module may put
wrappers around or re-name M's methods. I don't want M's methods to be
callable or visible in classes that include the generated module. But I
would like to propagate changes to M into the corresponding wrappers. I'll
look again at hooks in Module, like #method_added and #method_removed.
