You might want to consider instead backporting the importlib caching
facility, since it provides some of the zipimport benefits for plain old,
non-zipped modules.  Actually, a caching-only import hook that operated
that way wouldn't even need the whole of importlib, just a wrapper over the
standard C import that skips the unnecessary filesystem accesses.
