I think I got confused by the name: these objects don't represent
modules, right (despite the name of their type)?  They are objects
created by a particular module (stored in the module-id).

The Lisp_Misc union is for objects with up to 5 "words" (or 6 "words" if
you count the word that holds the header).  Your objects have only
2 "words" (or 3 if you count the header where you added the "id"), so
you're perfectly fine, with room to grow.
