Actually in development I have had the same need. If I am working on a tool and it imports a few other modules in the same tool, and I make a change to those modules, I have to kill the changed dependencies and the top level tool to get the changes reflected. If you are testing a tool that consists of one file, and you only make changes to one file, then you wouldn't need to worry about killing multiple imports.
