Serhiy proposed a relatively minor change to the behavior of `import *` in
the absence of __all__. This sounds like an idea we could try though we
should have a look at the implications for various well-known packages. It
is also a relatively minor problem that he's trying to solve, so it's not
worth breaking lots of stuff over. (We can just add an __all__ to Tkinter
that contains the desired list.)

Anders then stole Serhiy's thread to advocate fora much more radical idea.
That's not good netiquette. That idea is going to break a lot more code
than Serhiy's. But my key message here is to Anders: stay on topic or start
a new thread. You're welcome to discuss your idea in a separate thread. But
don't steal existing threads.
