I think it is just not worth it. This means I won't attempt to implement
it. I think I defined originally the __module__ attribute for classes to
support better pickling (and defined it to be a string to avoid cycles);
we considered the nested classes case at the time and concluded "oh
well, don't do that then".

Martin
