I think that might be problematic.

For example: I use (module+ test ...) all the time.  That means that I
will have a submodule called `test' inside my file.  The utility `raco'
understands this semantics, so I can run from a shell `raco test
foo.rkt' and run some tests.

The nice thing about the way things are now is that I can enter a file
freely, any time, because this test module will not be loaded.

This is only talking about a test submodule.  As the Racket
documentation says that requiring a file module doesn't automatically
require the submodules inside it, I don't know what people might have
done to their files assuming this is the expected behavior.
