There was further discussion today between Guido and Glyph (of
Twisted).  Twisted has another impl of reload that's more complex.
They also have tests and other possible use cases so we can learn from
their work and improve Guido's impl.  The good thing about Guido's
impl is that it's very fast compared to the Twisted version, although
not necessarily as complete.  The Twisted version walks all objects
where Guido's only patches the objects in the module being reloaded.
