Yes, but it's also just too messy. Many of the workarounds are
probably OK for a few uses, but they don't really scale.
With a 'fat' module, we get the simplest, cleanest, code, even if the
module is rather large: interfaces are only useful if they help reduce
complexity.
The most scalable solution I found was to use classes to
'clump' related functions together, allowing a set of functions to
be passed as a single argument (a class object). This also allowed
some state to be put in the object instead of using a functional
closure.
