independent state for this to become a real issue is questionable.
+ It was suggested on python-dev that it would be useful to be able to
+ receive a list of available modules from an importer and/or a list
+ of available data files for use with the get_data() method. The
+ protocol could grow two additional extensions, say list_modules()
+ and list_files(). The latter makes sense on loader objects with a
+ get_data() method. However, it's a bit unclear which object should
+ implement list_modules(): the importer or the loader or both?
