Well, yes, but imp.load_dynamic() would be the right thing to do for us. Is
there a reason why it's not documented?

I would like to avoid changing the code to load_dynamic() now and then
having to realise that that's going to die in 3.3 final because it somehow
got in the way of the importlob rewrites and is not being considered a
valuable enough public API.

New doc bug ticket:

It was meant as more of a question for now, but here it goes:
