[issue14803] Add feature to allow code execution prior to __main__ invocation

Chris, I'm not sure how to answer your questions.  The more powerful and flexible, the better.  There is no "must" here.  I'm looking for a way to avoid the hacks coverage.py has used in the past to measure coverage in subprocesses.  A language feature that allowed me to externally configure the interpreter to run some of my code first would allow me to do that.
