People write main entry points that are not exactly this?
If __name__ == '__main__':
sys.exit(main(sys.argv[1:]))
Which is not to say this is the only use of the idiom about __name__ and
__main__, just that the community appears to be slowly converging on some
spelling of that. I would be ok with some sugar for that spelling, but I
don't need it. I would not be ok with getting rid of the current spelling.
