That doesn't matter - it's perfectly valid to have a code module
that doesn't implement a MIB table or group of scalars.

The module would still need to contain an 'init_' routine,
so that you can set up whatever mechanism you'll be using
to determine *when* to send the traps.

Knowing when to send the trap is typically the hardest element of a trap
originator.  Actually sending the trap is the easy bit.
