Yes, this is a correct way to write a file that may be read several times.
On the other hand, if you don't really want to restart your pager every
time you reread fvwm2rc, place "Module FvwmPager" into StartFunction that
is only executed once on the FVWM start-up and once on restart.
Another way is to keep 2 functions, one for starting things and another
for finishing things. So Module command would go to the first and
KillModule to the second; AddToMenu/AddToFunc may go to the first and
DestroyMenu/DestroyFunc to the second (to clean up unused declarations).
But it is always prefered to call DestroyFunc before the corresponding
AddToFunc anyway to be safe.
