[BALAZS]: Yes you can move parts of a sub-module into sub-sub-module. Currently there is no 
limit on the depth of such splitting. For big projects/module this is handy. I don't exactly 
understand what you mean by recursive.

[BALAZS]: Quoting is not needed here, but allowed. From the draft:
"If a string contains any whitespace characters, a semicolon (";"), curly braces ("{ }"), or 
comment sequences ("//", "/*", or "*/"), then it MUST be enclosed within double or single quotes."
