+ to display visual parameter controls to users. Subclasses don't have direct
+ access to the list; instead they must use <code>registerParameter()</code> (ideally
+ in the constructor) to make sure the parameters are returned.
+ <br>
+ In addition, implementations of <code>Module</code> should specify a module name
+ in their constructor using <code>setName()</code>. If a name is not provided,
+ the simple name of the class will be used.

+ All modules, by definition, contain a reference to the experiment's resources, which
+ must be passed at construction. The resources should be accessed with <code>getResources()</code>.</div>
