I was very surprised that this did not get any response. I am very positive
about your idea. It looks very clean, since it leaves all the real work to
the "extra" package (which can be more easily replaced).

I don't think the __init__ file should import many real modules: we could
think of an approach with stub modules that auto-load themselves on 
invocation.
