demandimport - automatic demandloading of modules

To enable this module, do:

  import demandimport; demandimport.enable()

Imports of the following forms will be demand-loaded:

  import a, b.c
  import a.b as c
  from a import b,c # a will be loaded immediately

These imports will not be delayed:

  from a import *
  b = __import__(a)
