Okay, some languages may swap the terms, others like JS glom the concepts t=
ogether, and in Perl 5 =E2=80=9Cpackage Foo=E2=80=9D defines a module.  I=
=E2=80=99d say most PHP devs are more familiar with the terms as they=
=E2=80=99re used in JS, but whatever makes sense for PHP is what=E2=80=
=99s best.  I suppose I do have a dog in the fight, but I don=E2=80=99t muc=
h care how it=E2=80=99s groomed. =20

Then there=E2=80=99s GHC Haskell which has `import =E2=80=9Cpackage-name=
=E2=80=9D ModuleName.{Foo,Bar,Baz}`, which seems to cover all the bases.  D=
ecent ideas from the syntax, but I don=E2=80=99t think I want to replicate =
backpack :)
