One thing to note is I am trying to get rid of __loader__ in favour of __spec__.loader, so maybe make that the motivation?

One question for @brettcannon - I wonder if we should rename the class itself to NamespaceLoader and keep _NamespaceLoader as an alias for backward compatibility. It would look better in the repr. I guess I'll try that and see what breaks :D

The class is named NamespaceLoader and the alias is _NamespaceLoader

I mean it's been a private name up to this point, so people shouldn't be shocked if it's renamed. Plus people shouldn't be pickling the thing, so I don't see any issue with a rename.

I don't know that exposing it adds much value (namespace packages are a special flower anyway) but I don't see any harm.
