If important information is in the interpreter-specific location, it would be nice to know where that is. That could be a specific module name, but a module-name-pattern might be enough.
sys.interpreter=cpython (or pypy_js_43, or whatever is chosen) <==> cpython_vm (or pypy_js_43_vm) is the module for internals
Then why not: sys.interpreter_module = cpython <=> cpython sys.interpreter_module = pypy_vm <=> pypy_vm sys.interpreter_module = org.baked.beans.jython <=> org.baked.beans.jython :) ie. those targets which choose to use a "_vm" suffix make it explicit rather than imposing that naming upon everyone ?
Also note that even the interpreter-specific modules will probably be somewhat related. Just because something is implementation-defined doesn't mean prevent implementations from making similar choices.
I think that's the real problem here, but there is no simple scheme that will allow us to solve it.
