What issues does this PR fix or reference?
Fixes: #68281
Previous Behavior
Since e579012 (#65032), a new loader always created new modules and overwrote existing ones in
sys.modules
.This could cause unexpected behavior because parts of the loader code assumed that a cached function in their
_dict
always belongs to the corresponding module insys.modules
(details: #68281 (comment))New Behavior
Modules are reloaded instead of replaced when possible, which aligns with the behavior in 3006.x (I think, please feel free to correct me and let's see what the test suite says).
