You can add verify_module_namespace() in this commit
with a simple implementation.

static bool verify_module_namespace(const char *namespace, const char *modname)
{
        const char *prefix = "module:";

        return strstarts(namespace, prefix) &&
                  !strcmp(namespace + strlen(prefix), modname);
}


Then, you can extend it in the next commit,
to support the glob pattern in verify_module_namespace()

This is a noise change, as you immediately remove this code in the next commit.

So, I recommend adding verify_module_namespace() in this commit.
Then, you can extend it in the next commit for glob pattern support.
