I realised that with the "module:qualname" syntax, it's straightforward to expand this beyond module introspection to arbitrary objects.
What I suggest we could output:
- a header with key module info (names taken from PEP 451):
Origin
Cached
Submodule search path
Loader (repr output)
- for non-module objects, also include the line within the file (if it can be determined)
- the output of getsource() if a "--source" option is given
