This is not required in Curry and I do not understand why this
should be required. In our implementation, we can have main
I/O actions in arbitrary modules, and this does not cause
any problem for the compiler, since the compiler always knows
which is the main module for a specific application.
Requiring the existence of a module with a specific name
like "Main" seems to be a choice from older days and is
also not required in languages like Java.

Best regards,

Michael
