Eh, keep in mind if we ever get to that point, we're have a completely 
new API most likely.  Also, it is not better to think of things far, far 
ahead, if you don't even know said thing is ever going to happen; it 
just adds junk (like, "why can't we just use bpy without importing it? 
wait it's because someday blender might change dramatically and somehow 
forcing scripters to import it will help?").
