Which you avoid by giving an empty list of blocked modules, using
Alexandre's suggestion.

Ok, but this code exists and it would be much better if it were
supported.

It would be foolish to use it unmodified anyway, unless you like
low-speed I/O (and a JIT isn't a magic bullet).
The reason this was done like this is that the io module is imported at
startup: we want to avoid unnecessary parsing of extraneous code (and
unnecessary importing additional dependencies), and we also want to
reduce opportunities for failing to initialize the standard I/O streams
(especially stderr...).
> This will not solve the io issue, but will add some flexibility.
Which is pointless unless such flexibility is needed by someone.
