"all" versus "select number".

So I'm guessing the proposal is to freeze all the modules that Python 
imports just to get itself running, which would consume no additional 
memory when frozen, and saves time per your performance numbers, rather 
than the whole stdlib, which is what is sort of implied by "all".
