Well, you need to allow for a sufficiently abstract
notion of "filesystem".

I haven't really thought it through in detail. It
just seems as though it would be a lot less confusing
if you could figure out from static information which
module will get imported by a given import statement,
instead of having it depend on the history of run-time
modifications to sys.path. One such kind of static
information is the layout of the filesystem.
