I'm using my sources in QML (Q_PROPERTY, Q_INVOKABLE, ...), also have to 
refactor all my qmlRegisterType, all my contextProperties... - doing 
this step-by-step - have 20 mobile business apps ported from 5.15 to 6.6 ;-)

So I'll list my sources under the module

yep.

I know about the URI dot notation semantic. Have named this module 
"Main_Module" because the module will be loaded and executed at the 
start of the app and will never be re-used from another app. Upcoming 
modules will be something like "Ekke.Login", "Ekke.Camera" ...
