How is that expected to be useful? If you're not going
to access any attributes of a module, why can you simply
not import it in the first place?

It wouldn't be sufficient for my intended uses of lazy
importing, where I need the import to be triggered by
accessing a specific attribute of a *different* module
(namely a package which imports classes from submodules
and puts their names in its own namespace).
