I realised that with the "module:qualname" syntax, it's straightforward to expand this beyond module introspection to arbitrary objects.

What I suggest we could output:

- a header with key module info (names taken from PEP 451):
    Origin
    Cached
    Submodule search path
    Loader (repr output)

- for non-module objects, also include the line within the file (if it can be determined)

- the output of getsource() if a "--source" option is given
