Adds a new `nameArgument` argument to `submoduleWith` that allows changing which argument the "name" (last item of `loc`, i.e. attribute name or option name this submodule appears under) is bound to. This avoids conflicts when `moduleType` is used inside a submodule, where `name` would be set to both the outer submodule's name and the inner one's. If the outer submodule type sets `nameArgument` to something different, `moduleType` will continue using `name`, avoiding the conflict. Ideally, there should probably be a way to change the inner `name` too to remove all ambiguity.
