A rigorous definition is easy; I can't promise it would always meet
everyone's expectations:

The "current module" is given by the current formula (PyEval_GetGlobals(),
etc.) except when loading an extension module, in which case the current
module is the one most recently created.

I'm not sure, but this might be simplifiable to:

the "current module" is the one most recently created.
