The section of the code that defines the default set of modules to be
loaded uses named initializers. See commit
e91b9ddc7aa95abc2d4d314e8db204860771a099. The rationale for this is that it
makes it very easy to change the default set to whatever the user wants. 
Named initializers are very nice, and I'd personally like to keep them.
