has this been tested with import hooks?

Not really, I'm afraid. I don't know how to use import hooks ;-P But nothing substantial changed, and I took care to make sure 'find_from_args' gave the same information, still. For what it's worth, the test suite passed fine, but I don't know if there's a test for import hooks in there.

what's passed to the import function's fromlist argument if you do "from spam import egg as bacon"?

The same as 'from spam import egg', currently. Better ideas are welcome, of course, especially if you know how to use import hooks, and how they generally are used. Pointers towards the right sections are also welcome.
