Is there a way to include my own magic in an ansible module?

I’m writing some modules that can share code between them, so I was wondering if this was possible,  
Other idea that I had was just copying the code in the clients and then import it.

Anyone has tried something like this?

Sure, basically you grind up some eye of newt, light some candles, and then bury a vintage Sparc mousepad at a crossroads at midnight, and…

Ok, yeah, no 🙂

The common module code is not user extensible.
