I don't think this has been implemented. Given the annotations that
every module has, this should be a lot easier to do than when you file
in stuff with random expressions. Though a single module doesn't save
the values it modified when loading, if you could look at all other
modules and the initial values they define you should be able to figure
out how to restore stuff. But this would require knowing the exact order
in while all present modules were loaded in case multiple modules
changed the same thing with different values.

This, of course, is the general case. For the typical case a new module
only adds stuff without changing what was there before. Removing that
should be pretty simple.
