   * FIX #1617: reloading didn't change the :browse output as it should
   The problem was that because the interface hadn't changed, we were
   re-using the old ModIface.  Unfortunately the ModIface contains the
   GlobalRdrEnv for the module, and that *had* changed.  The fix is to
   put the new GlobalRdrEnv in the ModIface even if the interface has not
   otherwise changed.

   ModIface is not really the right place for the GlobalRdrEnv, but
   neither is ModDetails, so we should think about a better way to do
   this.
