@hango no… the MM functions locate modules

then u have the module object and call hide on it
from my SleepWake module

MM.getModules().enumerate((module) => {
				// if the module is already hidden
				if(module.hidden==true)
					// save it for wake up
					{self.previously_hidden.push(module.identifier);}
				else
					// hide this module
					{module.hide(1000);}
			});

@hango from main.js

var showModule = function (module, speed, callback, options) {
var hideModule = function (module, speed, callback, options) {

@hango before the call to hideModule
there is a variable self set
self is used to avoid the ambiguity of ‘this’, as inside callbacks ‘this’ can point to the caller, NOT the context where it was intended.

	var self = this;     < ----- self is initialized to the current 'this' context
	MM.hideModule(
		self,              < -------------- should be 'this' ?
		speed,

so its the same
and in the call there is a required function (the callback), in this case created inline

		function () {
			self.suspend();   // < --- make sure to use the right module context when this function is called
                                                  // the compiler remembers that self was defined above 
			callback();         // call the routine defined as callback
		},
