[docs] [issue11676] imp.load_module and submodules - doc issue, or bug?

[Brett Cannon]

Brett Cannon <brett at python.org> added the comment:

It's actually not surprising that imp works this way: it predates packages.

Because the semantics (I assume) have been like this for ages I say we document the current behavior (it's easy to work around) and simply continue to replace imp functionality with importlib ones that are more modern and reasonable.
