3.21.1 in the lib manual sez: "A more complete example 
that implements hierarchical module names and includes 
a reload() function can be found in the standard 
module knee (which is intended as an example only -- 
don't rely on any part of it being a standard 
interface)."

...but knee is not in the module list, though it 
appears to be in the distribution.

Like it says, the knee module is supposed to be an example
only.  I don't think it should be included in the library at
all; it should be somewhere in Demo/.

I think Guido has resisted moving it before, but I don't
recall clearly.  I'll assign this to Tim since Guido's not
available now.

If you move it, please change the docs so that it no longer 
says it's a standard module.

Sorry, I can't channel Guido here -- AFAICT, this is the 
first time I ever heard about knee!  Reassigned to Guido.

knee.py itself is mostly intended as documentation -- it's
working code that demonstrates how the import process works!

It's fine if it gets moved to the Demo directory.

knee.py is now moved to Demo/imputil.

Moving it without changing the docs isn't much good. Is 
someone changing the docs?
