[Modules] module source - changed as of 5.0.0 ?

[Paul M. <pau...@gm...>]

Is it by design, or by error, that the "module source" command can no longer be used in module files (it still works directly).

When I upgraded to 5.0.0, I had to change this in my initial module file:
(old line is commented out - it worked in  4.8.0).

	#       module source  "${_modules_home}/common/base/basealias"
	module switch  base/basealias base/basealias


In the specific situation (the affected module just defines aliases) - using module switch is better than source (because I don't have to include the full path), but I can think of situations where you don't want a command that unloads the module before loading it again.
