In that case, I guess longer phrases like "meta path finder" and "path
hook finder" will be needed in order to distinguish between the two
kinds of finder. While they were always different (the latter didn't
need to accept a path argument to find_module()), that difference
becomes even more pronounced with PEP 420 (where only the latter can
provide the new find_loader() method - the former must still provide
find_module()).

Regards,
Nick.
