I'm not sure what this would achieve -- people who don't know enough
about Python to add __init__.py files aren't going to know enough to
make suppressed-by-default warnings not suppressed.
The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of saying
something when an import fails only because of a missing __init__.py
file. I guess I should try to implement it...
Cheers,
