      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?
