Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`List<String>`	`getDescription()`	The `JavaModule.createDefaultDocs()` will create basic documentation for functions and such, and is called automatically during module `JavaModule.init(State)`, but the actual description of this module -- if any -- is done here.
`Module`	`newInstance(State state)`	Modules are effectively templates.

    Description copied from class: Module
    
    Modules are effectively templates. This passes in the state of the parser at the point a new module is required and the contract is to create a new instance of this module with the state. Note that the state passed in may have nothing to do with the state here. You are creating a new module for the given state using this as a template.
    
    All implementations should gracefully handle a null state with the assumption that the full state will be set later. This is because of bootstrapping networks of modules during deserialization.

    Description copied from class: JavaModule
    
    The JavaModule.createDefaultDocs() will create basic documentation for functions and such, and is called automatically during module JavaModule.init(State), but the actual description of this module -- if any -- is done here. Override and return your description.
