Agreed. As you stated, allow_view determines when a module should be
loaded. If you want it loaded for every page load, then this is set to
all. Otherwise you list out the modules you want to trigger the mod.
"home" is a substitution module that tells the core to load the module
when the home page is called in addition to other modules.
