[issue21156] Consider moving importlib.abc.InspectLoader.source_to_code() to importlib.abc.Loader

[Eric Snow]

Eric Snow added the comment:

Now that I've thought about it a little more, I'm more open to the idea.  Source is definitely a universal concept in Python, as is code.  So source_to_code() makes some sense on a most-base type like Loader.  On the other hand, source isn't necessarily associated with all loaders.

I guess my initial gut reaction was that it seemed out of place API-wise.  On InspectLoader it's presence is tied to get_code(), so it makes more sense.
