That's a good point Michael.  That was probably a bad habit to pick 
up.  However, I think a overloaded import could still be 
useful.  Overloading the builtin import would allow a PSP file to control 
autoreloading for its entire dependency tree (modules which call other 
modules, etc.).  This would allow one to easily turn autoreloading on 
during development and to easily turn it off for production deployment.

I'm still cutting my teeth on the mod_python code base, but figured I'd 
throw that idea out there in the mean time.
