+ Ditch using arguments to super().
+ Ditch subclassing from object directly.
+ Move directory check out of chaining path hook to file path hook/finder.
+ Rename some classes to better reflect they are finders, not importers.
load failure in relation to reloads. Also expose
importlib.util.module_for_loader to handle all of the details of this along
with making sure all current loaders behave nicely.
and relies much more on meta path finders to abstract out various parts of
import.
As part of this the semantics for import_module tightened up and now follow
__import__ much more closely (biggest thing is that the 'package' argument must
now already be imported, else a SystemError is raised).
an ``svn revert`` (gee, maybe more atomic commits by use of something like a
DVCS would help with this? Wish someone would get on that ...), I am checking
in an untested, work-in-progress meta path finder to handle sys.path.
FrozenImporter. Docs forthcoming.
I plan on all finders and loaders (and most likely hooks) to live
in imoprtlib.machinery. Utility stuff will end up in importlib.util.
Higher-level API stuff will stay on imoprtlib directly (e.g. import_module).
