There are many ways to update module contents; reloading is only one
of them.  If I said (from hypothetical module foo):

import mymod
mymod.myfunc = lambda obj: obj + 1

I will successfully have modified the value of myfunc without doing a
reload.  And saying "from mymod import myfunc" will pickup the new
function that's been assigned to that symbol.
