I'm not sure if this would be of any real benefit -- agree it would be nice,
but there is already so much code out there that assumes the standard
library is directly accessible.

Also, I'd simply use "stdlib" or even just "std", not "__stdlib__".  It
doesn't need to be magic, it would just be an ordinary python package.

I'd love to see something like this in Python 3, though.  <wink>
