themselves not that rare.
That particular issue can be resolved by automatically doing the
shadowing at the sys.module level though (i.e. insert into sys.modules
under the real module name as well as __main__ for
runpy._run_module_as_main and just strip the directory and extension
details from __file__ to determine where to insert the second
reference for a directly executed script file).
Sure - there are trivial workarounds which is why I don't think there
are *many* genuine use cases for a module reimporting itself with a
different name.

Making sure both __main__ and the corresponding importable name refers
to the same module object seems reasonable. Trying to special case
shadowing detection just because the shadowing module happens to also
be the main module seems ugly as hell :)
Cheers,
Nick.
