I haven't read your proposal yet, but please explain what syntactic modules
and non-syntactic modules are.

I think it should be provided as a useful shim device.  Ideally it shouldn't
exist, but one often needs just a bit of glue.

The only connection between the two is that if a module exists, cond-expand
knows about it along with whatever other implementation-specific things it
knows about.
