That's why I was happy to find it :-)

I checked this in. So martian.scan now again groks every package/module,
also 'tests' and 'ftests'. You can give a filter function to opt-out
certain names, like this:

    >>> mymodinfo.getSubmoduleInfos(
    ...     exclude_filter=lamda x: x.startswith('java'))

The default grok behaviour is however, to grok everything.

Not sure, whether I understood correctly. Is the aim for grok not to
grok tests (tests/ftests modules) by default but only when told so
explicitly (by the tests for example)?
