Short path for loading modules

[twalmsley]

Suggestion:

Use site modl.uk to store standard modules rather than using an organisation-specific site.

This is to encourage standardisation modules rather than proprietary ones, and the MODL site then becomes a repository for the standard numbered (or named) modules. The language can then use shorter instructions for loading modules hosted at the default location, e.g. modules.modl.uk, or override the location using *base.

Use *repo=x to load module x from https://modules.modl.uk/x.modl

Use *base="http://my-site.com/my-repo/" to redefine the base URL for *repo modules.

The standard module 1 can then be loaded using:

*r=1

instead of

*l="http://modules.my-org.uk/1.modl"

I like this idea - both the use of modl.uk site, and also the assumption of the base URL.
