What I am proposing is that the creation of __pycache__ /directories/ be put
outside of the core. It can be part of distutils, or of a separate module, or
delegated to third-party tools. It could even be as simple as
"python -m compileall --pycache", if someone implements it.
Creation of the __pycache__ /contents/ (files inside the directory) would still
be part of core Python, but only if the directory exists and is writable by the
current process.

If, as I have done several times recently, I create a directory and
insert an empty __init__.py and several real module.py files, I want the
.pycs to go into __pycache__ *automatically, by default, without me also
having to remember to create an empty __pycache__ *directory*, *each
time*. Ugh.
