Issue #25523 : Correct "a" article to "an" article
...
This changes the main documentation, doc strings, source code comments, and a

Emphasize that people should not override __import__.
...
With importlib getting used more and more, changing __import__ will
not work as well as people used to hope as it will potentially bypass
importers, etc. It also will not work with importlib.import_module()
as it uses "importlib.__import__" (i.e. importlib's implementation of
import) directly and not builtins.__import__.
