hide-modulefile is currently ignored

The hide-modulefile function is currently ignored in TCL modules having .modulerc files since the function is a noop.

In my simple minded approach I added basic functionality to it:

proc module-hide {args} {
    set mfile [lindex $args end]
    myPuts "\{kind=\"hide_modulefile\", mfile=\"$mfile\"\},"
}

This way TCL modules with a .modulerc file containing module-hide [...] <modulefile> are not shown with module avail however they are (as expected) when using module --show_hidden avail.

Do I miss something that could cause problems with this simple "fix", or could you think to include this or something more sophisticated in future releases?

True, but I'm proposing a "solution" ;-) However, since I'm new to Lmod, I don't really know if my "solution" is breaking something else.

I am closing this ticket. All discussion is being moved to #690.
