OK, OK.  No need to get all wound up about it.  I'll stop now, after
this:

I don't mind that the implementation for get_source() raises an error
(any error) when the code came from an archive.  I just want a
standard API that people who write alternative code repositories
can implement.  Greg's proposal seems fine:
module.__importer__.get_module_source(module).
