I *totally* agree that get_data() should be an optional part
of the protocol. I consider it an experimental addition
right now.

Quick thoughts:
__importer__ should be set to the object with the
load_module() method.
Yes, load_module() is responsible for setting it. It has to
be, as it is load_module() that actually runs the code, and
__import__ must be available to the running code.

PEP: Yes. I started on it last night, doing some work on it
as we speak.
