FWIW, as things grow commands for projects outside layers 1 & some of 2 are
in external repos.  The some of time here is due to doing all imports up
front rather than as required; I've proposed
https://review.openstack.org/173098 as the first step to fix this.

If we do the above the entry point scan is maybe two orders of magnitude
faster without the forced imports.

I am also working on at least one deferred import inside cliff itself, cmd2
