Of the modules, many of the "non-Find*" modules are exactly that. Of the list here:
http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.2/manual/cmake-modules.7.html The ones that pop out to me as obvious "CMake language function providers" are ExternalProject, GetPrerequisites, BundleUtilities, ProcessorCount. Mostly they're obvious to me because I have history in each of those files. The general convention to follow is, public functions in a module should begin with the module name, followed by an "_", followed by the function name. -- i.e. ExternalProject_Add is the "Add" function in the ExternalProject module.
