Module types are a mess

[Cas Widdershoven]

Right now, the module types are a mess. It isn't possible to find all the teachers, for example, because they all are defined under a more limited name, like wordsTeacher. It should be possible to define types with some sort of inheritance or composition, so you can say this is a teacher, more specifically, a words teacher.

I agree on the first part, not on the second. For the second you can just set a second attribute, that already happens sometimes. E.g. self.dataType = "words".

<commandoline> 1025001 <- on this one, I'm ok with giving all enterers and teachers the same type, but there's no real gain since a word teacher is by definition not replacable by a topo teacher.

<commandoline> so for me, 'won't fix' or just changing those two types is both equally fine.
<commandoline> do you guys have any preferences?
<CasW> Well, maybe that example isn't realistic, but there might be a real use case when you want to use something like inheritance, in the future... But I don't have any strong feelings on this, naah
<commandoline> let's just put it to 'won't fix' for now then, if we come up with a good use case, we can reconsider.
<CasW> Yeah
