Yes, but the question is about autovivification -- that is, if this
were the first line in a program:

   module A::B::C

then this:

   module A
     module B
       module C

would be created automatically.  My point a few messages back was that
this is too magical, since A::B::C does not necessarily refer only to
Modules.
