Other things to consider:

* reload() will no longer work (it loads into the existing module ns)
* the module-replaces-self-in-sys-modules hack will be weird
* class decorators that modify the class will no longer work
* caching class attrs that are lazily set by instances will no longer
work (similar to modules)
* singletons stored on the class will break
