This would be extremely handy if it could be made to work reliably... But
I'm skeptical about whether it can be made to work reliably. Consider all
the fun things that could happen once you start upgrading packages while
python is running, and might e.g. have half of an upgraded package already
loaded into memory. It's like the reloading problem but even more so.
