[issue36375] PEP 499 implementation: "python -m foo" binds the main module as both __main__ and foo in sys.modules

Exactly. :)

I'd expect PEP 499 to specify changing __module__ of classes and functions from __main__ to the module name (__spec__.name).  This aligns closely with the whole point of the PEP. :)  As a bonus, it will simplify things for pickling (which doesn't inherently deal well with __main__).
