Yes, searching for a single named file is a much faster operation than
listing a directory, and would probably be a fairly small impact on
Python startup, much smaller than listing a directory with many files.
It's one round-trip to the server vs many round trips.

.. but that makes the feature somewhat different than .pth files in
site-packages (any name vs a single name), which may be a bad thing too.
