It seems a little early to say how that operation would work, since the 
metadata format is not finalised yet. You could regard the distlib installer 
code writing the EXPORTS file as a sort of indexing operation, although 
specific to entry points (exports) only. Obviously this could be generalised to 
cover other areas.
