I agree, and I am very worried about breaking imports on platforms
which I do not have, and which I can not test.  But I am working
on zip imports, which is a Good Thing.  While working on this I
can fix other things which don't seem quite right.  If things break,
I currently have time to fix them due to reduced pressure at work.

And of course it is for 2.3, not 2.2.

OK, I think you are right here.  The "-c" option should insert
the current directory.  Currently it inserts "".
