If it turns out that we use PEP 302-like loaders, I am also suggesting
that the default metadata directory name
used in Distutils is changed to "DIST_NAME.metadata".

The loader would still work with "DIST_NAME.egg-info" directories for
compatibility with
existing format in the query APIs, but the Distutils install command
would rather create  "DIST_NAME.metadata"
