I don't like it either and want to change it, but I'm also not going
to mess with it until the importlib bootstrapping is fully integrated
and stable.

For the moment, there's a workaround in runpy to ensure at least
__main__.__file__ is always absolute (even when using the -m switch).
Longer term, I'd like to see __file__ and __path__ entries to be
guaranteed to be *always* absolutely, even when they're imported
relative to the current working directory.

Cheers,
Nick.
