Raymond,

Passing to you to see what you think of the code, rather
than just the feature in the abstract.

Guido settled for not vetoing it, but the discussion with
him allowed me to articulate why I think this is a
worthwhile feature.
(Details at

Extension to allow packages and zip imports can wait until
there is any demand for either feature. I don't really
expect to see any, since I think the main uses will be
"python -m pdb", "python -m profile" and "python -m timeit".
