Absolutely.  This is exactly what I did in my "interned" patch and this
is what prompted my proposal.

Agree. However, the code that does not need bootstaping is often
simpler and less fragile for the same reason.

I did not know that imported modules could be finalized. If they could,
I would guess the proper order would ne the reverse on the order of
initialization.
