The common Rust style, which we use in the kernel as well, uses
several kinds of casing to make it easy to distinguish between types
of entities at a glance.

Traits use CamelCase, like structs and enums. So if `ThisModule` is a
trait, that would be its case.

But, for instance, if it were a constant, then it would be `THIS_MODULE`.

Details at https://rust-lang.github.io/api-guidelines/naming.html --
sometimes we may diverge from that, but in general we follow the usual
style.

Cheers,
Miguel
