[issue35358] avoid '-' in importlib.import_module and builtins.__import__

Guido van Rossum report at bugs.python.org

Guido van Rossum <guido at python.org> added the comment:

Do not change this. I'd rather see it documented that importlib can import any name as long as it doesn't contain a dot, slash or backslash.

(Clearly the fact that Django loads it is an additional argument that this should be supported, not forbidden.)

It's the same as for getattr etc.
