sys is already special cased so heavily in the interpreter
initialization, making it a little more special really wouldn't bother
me much :)

As far as customising other extension modules goes, the same "replace
yourself in sys.modules" trick should still work, you'd just do it via
the C API from your module init function.

Cheers,
Nick.
