Notice the QCLRPGMI (Retrieve Program Information) API and QBNRSPGM
(Retrieve Service Program Information) API infer that an entire program
state supersedes any component module states, as the APIs return the entire
program object state, not component module states.

Notice the QBNRMODI (Retrieve Module Information) API documentation under
"Module State" infers that system state modules cannot be bound with user
state modules.

Module state is in the patchable module header at bytes x'02' & x'03'
(x'0001' is user, x'0080' is system).  Try binding a mixture of user state
and system state modules into one program, and see the binder fail with
CPD5CF7.

Hmm, a CPD error, not an MCH error---so mixing states is an OS/400
restriction, not an MI restriction?
