Is there any secret to using this functionality?
In another thread, someone posted that:
"This functionality was added in the 0.12 series to allow overriding any string in any module without having to worry about re-changing that file when you upgrade the module."
If you include a customized version of a file in the module_custom, do you have to remove it from the "normal" module directory? For example, if I customize FrontEndUsers.api.php and put the customized version in module_custom/FrontEndUsers, should I remove FrontEndUsers.api.php from the modules/FrontEndUsers directory?

Re: using the module_custom directory
The module_custom stuff is only for language strings, not for the code php files.
The system only looks in the module_custom directory when doing a language lookup.
