Hi Éric.  Adding idle.py would make -m idle work.  But I believe it would 
violate existing policy.  So I will not propose it on python-ideas or pydev and 
hope no one else does either.

PEP 434, at least in part, formalized what I believe was older practice with 
respect to idlelib.  I was surprised by the negative reaction that ensued and 
do not want a repeat.

Raymond, I have considered this at length and see no prospect for a positive 
change at this time.

This issue reminded me to open #31329, to index 'idlelib' and better document 
the options for starting IDLE..
