[issue13988] Expose the C implementation of ElementTree by default when importing ElementTree

[Eli Bendersky]

Florent,

Just something minor I noticed in the new cElementTree.py:

  # Wrapper module for _elementtree

  from xml.etree.ElementTree import *
  # Not in __all__
  from xml.etree.ElementTree import ElementPath, XMLID, register_namespace

The "wrapper" comment should be removed, and possibly replaced with "This module exists for backwards compatibility with releases earlier than 3.3; Please import xml.etree.ElementTree directly"

Also, regarding the names not in __all__. Any good reason for them not to be? Seems like an omission to me.
