Research direction

Start by locating pkgutil.get_importer in the Lib component and review the historical PR python/cpython#19921, since the issue is marked patch review. Confirm the intended behavior from the title: only the first valid path_hook importer should be returned, with tests covering that behavior before considering the work done.
