At some point, we’ll want to add options for strict portability and this case will become an exception in that mode. We would stop trying to differentiate module sources from module descriptors.

I'm fine with the code here in this PR. But I don't understand the comment. Why not continue to differentiate module sources from module descriptors?

We’ve discriminated all the module descriptors up to this point, but to preserve backward compatibility with import hooks that simply returned a module source (not a module source wrapped in a module descriptor), we have to fall through here.
We do have a clear path to deprecate this path, though, which I hope to get to separately.

Worth filing an issue?

This presumably means that the type isn’t getting properly threaded, since fail and Fail return never. I’ll change this to throw assert.error since throwing at an inevitably throwing call feels weird.

It felt weird for me the first 100 times. But our codebase now does that pervasively. In throw Fail... I read the Fail as "throw an error" and the throw as "Let static analysis know that we're throwing an error".

Description
Pursuant to arriving at parity with XS, this change internally reörients the SES module loader around the concept of a “module descriptor”. This creates some clarity and removes some existing duplication of work for “alias” module descriptors, and prepares the material for a richer module descriptor schema to match those implemented by XS.
