Would it be sensible to patch %INC such that keys could also be package
names?  This way, I can do:

  use Some::Module;
  $loc = $INC{'Some::Module'};

instead of doing:

  use Some::Module;
  $OSSEP = '/';
  for ($^O || do { require Config; $Config::Config{osname} }) {
    /Win/i and $OSSEP = '\\', last;
    /^MacOS$/i and $OSSEP = ':', last;
    /os2/i and $OSSEP = '\\', last;
  }
  ($module = 'Some::Module.pm') =~ s/::/$OSSEP/g;
  $loc = $INC{$module};

But perhaps I'm being silly.
