Why do Names defined in the current module lack a module name?

[Johan Tibell]

Hi,

I'm writing an app that uses the GHC API to extract names from modules.
I've written a little AST traversal that finds all Names in the
type-checked AST and writes them to a file. I noticed that every Name
defined in the current module (i.e. Names generated for top-level function
definitions) lack a module name i.e. nameModule_maybe return Nothing. Why
is this? Should I just assume that every time nameModule_maybe return
Nothing the module name is in fact the name of the current module being
compiled?
