If two modules with the same name are found in the same directory on
the module path, such as in differently-named jar files, then that is
an error, because neither can be said to have precedence and hide the
other.
Just to add to Jon's mail, there detail in in the "Module paths" section
of JEP 261 [1] and the API docs of ModuleFinder.of(Path...) [2] which is
the API for creating the equivalent of a module path to find modules.
