 //
-// Abstract interface for providing a module.
+// This file provides an abstract interface for loading a module from some
+// place.  This interface allows incremental or random access loading of
+// functions from the file.  This is useful for applications like JIT compilers
+// or interprocedural optimizers that do not need the entire program in memory
+// at the same time.
