Motivation for this change
This change is made to fill a gap in the module system, which is the ability to forward the content of a submodule option to the parent module system.
The motivation for this change comes from the last rewrite of the httpd services that I made (not commited), which are extending the
extraConfigofhttpd, by re-defining the merge logic.This change avoid the merge logic duplication by forwarding the definitions of the submodules to the parent module. Thus, the merge logic does not have to be manually written to merge the content of the different submodules in the parent module. More over, this modification takes the option definition before they are being processed by the merge & apply functions, which prevent issues in case of non-re-entrant merge functions.
