My line of thought was more like: if Python code can stick anything into sys.modules and the runtime doesn't care, why can't extension modules stick anything into sys.modules as well? I can't really see the advantage of requiring a subtype here. Or even just a type, as I said. I guess we'll have to start using this in real code to see if it makes any difference.
