Wouldn't it make more sense to have

[path '$path']
       submodule=modulename

and

[submodule '$modulename']
       url=/some/url

in case the same module appears in more than one path?

Yes, that would be a properly normalized model.

Hmm.... Maybe we could allow both variations, with your suggestion
overriding mine if both are present? (I think there would be many
cases where the extra level of [submodule...] wouldn't be needed.

Hmm.... I was thinking that the extra "path" level could be optional,
i.e., if there is no path.$path.submodule, then the name of the
submodule would simply be $path.
