That's an interesting counter proposal. Your idea requires an additional
import that I try to avoid. Looking at memory and performance, an
additional module that is imported anyway isn't better. In my humble
opinion the implementation information belongs into the sys module
anyway. A new module just for the user site suffix seems unnecessary.
