I share Ezio's sentiment regarding the new proposal(s). As for
import_fresh_module, if it's only ever used to do what we describe here,
then I propose to rename it to something more descriptive and indeed make
it just return both modules. If it's being used for other stuff, we can add
another function and rewrite all the tests to use that.

py_module, c_module = import_python_module_and_accelerator('module',
'_module')
