Well, perhaps I missed something. It changed to use the Python 
tokenizer, I think, if it wasn't doing this already. It doesn't use the 
compiler module, as importchecker does Anyway, I guess the tokenizer is 
fine too, and might even be faster for all I know, just seems an 
unfortunate duplication of work, plus I checked in importchecker for 
little reason. :)
