I recently began "playing" with the TeXexec --module capabilities, and lo! I
have a a couple of hints :-)

It would be nice if \input'ed files could be (at the user's choice) be
processed at together with the main files, if they are modules (e.g., there
would be not much to do on plain.mp included by metafun.mp, but it would be
nice if all the others were typeset too; in such a case (or even _not_ in
such a case), \input's could be turned to links.

Also, I would like to signal a couple of bugs

a) double %D %D bug in metafun.mp;

1) syntax highlighting is too aggressive: filenames should not be syntax
highlighted (I mean mp-char.mp has "char" highlighted);

2) it seems that some modules use cont-nl, while other use cont-en
(specifically for the latter: mp-tool has a \quote command, which is not
recognized; core-fnt has a \getbuffer whici is not recognized);

enough by now ...

(Hans, shall I post other bugs I find publicly, or do you want them sent
separately?)
