Actually no I wasn't.  The current repr for the sys module is "<module
'sys' (built-in)>".  Adding the angle brackets would change that.  It's not
a big deal to me either way.  I actually kind of like the idea of using
angle brackets (by convention) on a non-locatable origin.  It just changes
existing reprs and can be ambiguous in the (unlikely) situation I
described.  I'm leaning toward not doing the angle brackets, but I can be
swayed. :)
