Actually, use this all the time.  Or more precisely, I use the thing
you mentioned in your next email, all the time:

} alias -A example=zsh/example
} zmodload -ab example

I have a rather complicated set of startup scripts, one of which has
the job of discovering that I'm running an uninstalled zsh binary out
of the compilation build tree and therefore frobbing the module path
(and installing all sorts of module aliases) so that everything "just
works" loading the modules out of Src/Builtins and Src/Modules instead
of by using their regular namespace paths.

This makes extensive use of exactly the aliasing trick above, and I'd be
rather disappointed to have to try to figure out how to rewrite it all
so that it still works.
