+modules are not available.  The requested modules will be loaded, and
+optionally have their versions checked.  If the module is missing, the test
+script will be skipped.  Modules that are found but fail to compile will exit
+with an error rather than skip.
+
+If used in a subtest, the remainder of the subtest will be skipped.")
