Agreed in general. But it felt a little weird to move this
all the way down to the inner core, which is prelinked.
In this one case, the (outer core) module Oberon was
chosen, which can more easily be replaced (although in
in EO all modules can be dynamically replaced on the fly -
even inner core modules - while the system is running).

Not so sure about that. Modules.Check (does reference
checking) also use error codes 0, 1, 2, ... These would need
to be changed to higher values then. Doable though.
