The attached version supports tab completion of multiple modules on the same line (doesn't work in the modules-3.2.10 version), caching of available modules (performance enhancement for systems with a large number of modules), and doesn't have many of the bugs present in modules-3.2.10.

If there is already some completion provided by modules-3.2.10,
why don't you update/improve it there? There are actually
many unmaintained completions in bash-completion. It's not
that good idea to get another such completion. When completion
provided by the program itself, it probably has more chances to
be in-sync with the program.
