This is why I'm concerned about get_data. It isn't necessarily
enough - we've already had people ask about get_module_names and
stat. Who knows what else could be useful? I suspect that some
things simply aren't going to be noticed until the new import
hooks get actually used "in the wild".

At the moment, this issue is in the "Open Issues" section of the
(not yet released) PEP.
