Why is the IBC module name, ibchost.ModuleName

[ValarDragon]

Summary of Bug

Something I find confusing in dealing with the app wiring, is that the core IBC module's moduleName (https://github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/blob/main/modules/core/module.go#L43-L46) is ibchost.ModuleName. (In osmosis / most apps atm we alias that host import to be ibchost)

I erroneously thought this related to interchain accounts host, whereas really the begin block here is for updating IBC clients.

Could the location / name of this module name be moved around? (Perhaps even keeping it in the same folder?)

We could move it to our exported directory. I agree it's an odd place to put the module name. It isn't in the types because the types because our types depend on submodules and our submodules depend on the ModuleName

Would it seem more logical if you used ibcexported.ModuleName?

yeah ibcexported.ModuleName would be nicer!
