At first, I didn't understand why one wouldn't simply omit sys.path[0], similar to what scripts do, but then I realized that Nick was aware of a common use-case that I was overlooking - that `python -m` may be used to launch behavior in a local package - in which case it's relevant and important that sys.path[0] == ''.
