   For module navigation, I can see that IntelliJ just takes me to 
`module-info.java` if I use the Go-To Declaration feature for the import 
statement `import module java.base`. So navigation is certainly possible from a 
module name and it does refer to something in particular that a static star 
wouldn't. Outside of code editors, I can't think of a particular use case for 
that metadata.
