That's an interesting idea.

Low, in the short term. A good first step would be to work out a
somewhat detailed proposal including:
- Descriptions of specific situations where this would solve a
problem, with specific examples of how the proposed meachanism would
be applied.
- A syntax proposal. It has to address distinguishing file paths from
urls from these new things. I suspect these should be expressed as
URLs, e.g.:
project://some.project/aconfig.cfg
I'll note that I suspect you can do this now using a buildout
extension that installs a new URL handler in urtllib2.
