> In xml/etree there is:
> - ElementTree: tries to import cElementTree. On success, done. On
>   ImportError, imports pyElementTree
> - pyElementTree: the pure Python implementation
> - cElementTree: sets up the bootstrap Python code and tries to import
>   _elementtree. In case of an error, propagates an ImportError up.

What I had in mind is more like:
 - ElementTree: defines the python code and if _elementtree is available overrides part of it with the functions imported from it;
 - cElementTree: at this point it could just be a deprecated alias for ElementTree
