Issue #17358: imp.load_source() and load_compiled() should now return
modules which will typically work when reloaded. A hack is used to support these functions as their API allowed them to pass in a file object but then operate as if import had loaded them. Unfortunately the hack kept a reference around for the file object passed in which would be unusable on reload since it had been closed. The solution is to simply use the hack for the initial load but then a proper loader on the module so that imp.reload() at least has a chance to work.
