I don't know.

You can do "let module ... in", so "global" is not equivalent to
"module".  I don't like open statements anyway because they require me
to read many of the opened modules to discover which module provides
the symbol.  I prefer to establish one-letter module names if I feel
the need for brevity, so "let module" is all I need.
