 * For example, the CfSysLineHandlers a module has registered need to be unregistered
 * here. This entry point is only called immediately before unloading of the module. So
 * it is likely to be destroyed. HOWEVER, the caller may decide to keep the module cached.
 * So a module must never assume that it is actually destroyed. A call to modInit() may
 * happen immediately after modExit(). So a module can NOT assume that static data elements
