PEP 338: Executing modules inside packages with '-m'

>Python 2.4's -m command line switch only works for modules directly on sys.path. 

On my Windows machine this command line switch really makes my life so
much easier. I appreciate -m very much. Going further as proposed in
PEP 338 sounds good to me.

One thing I stumbled across with the current implementation:

Why doesn't "python -m abc" work with

./abc/
./abc/__init__.py

assuming ./abc/ is directly on the path? In analogy to normal module
import?
