I wonder if the module revision should be checked. Maybe this is a
future problem to address if/when the need arises?

It seems like versioning can be done a few ways for a semi-stable
interface.

1) Keep the module GUID the same and change the module major/minor
revisions as needed.
2) Give the module a new GUID every time there's a change.
3) Keep the module GUID the same, but change a handler GUID if the
handler's inputs/outputs change.

I think #3 would be the way to go for most cases. So the onus is on the
caller to have the correct handler GUID. And no changes needed here.

Just wanted to write out some thoughts in case others have feedback.

Minor nit: I suggest aligning these lines on the '=' for easier reading.

Overall, looks good to me.
