Yes. It is overkill. The number of different ways to import ElementTree
is perhaps unfortunate but it is a mostly isolated incident: effbot
providing pure and c versions, it being popular and hence having other
implementations *and* quickly getting into the core.
The original issue was that the various import paths to ElementTree are
a little confusing. Adding "or" syntax doesn't change that.
