A .modulerc file found at the root of an enabled modulepath directory is now evaluated when modulepath is walked through to locate modulefiles. This modulepath rc file gives for instance the ability to define a module alias whose name does not correspond to any module directory in this modulepath. Thus this kind of module alias could only be found if it is defined at the modulepath global scope.

This change is available in git repository and will be included into the next feature release v4.3.
