Anything in sys.path that is not a string pointing to a directory is not
very compatible. My current proposal keeps the existing semantics for
sys.path (the proposal adds functionality thru other mechanisms, rather
than changing/interfering with existing ones).

I look forward to your comments! I'll definitely provide new solutions
where you find problems :-)
