I think the idea is that the internal partitions could be used for a
pImpl pattern of sorts. It would allow that code to be changed without
changing the BMI of the module and forcing a recompile of everything
depending on that module.

However, creating a non-trivial module would be a good exercise. I have
given some thought to what VTK would look like if we used modules and
how this would work, but it is not much more than thinking about it at
this point.
