That content exists as intro material to Genesis -- that's not a module 
or testament introduction. Xiphos (notably) already shows that.

I'm wondering if any module actually /uses/ module or testament 
introductions.
It's a practical question: Do I need to care at all about this feature?
If nobody uses it, then I'm not missing anything by not implementing for it.

mod2imp BSB...
Module heading is empty.
Testament heading has just some milestone/version stuff.

It appears BSB has some ordinary intro material on every chapter n:0, 
and a book title on every book 0:0.
