Actually, maybe we do want to, for this usage.

Note that until Python 2.5, it was not possible to do "python -m nested.module", so this change merely prevents existing modules from being run this way -- when they could not have been before! So, such modules would require a minor change to run under -m. Is this actually a problem, or is it a new feature?

This is where I wonder why the "def main()" PEP was rejected in the first place. It would have solved this problem as well.
