What's the problem this feature will solve?

sometimes I install a package eg PyTables and it fails to compile properly and fails with an ImportError with an undefined symbol, however I don't see this in CI because I only do pytest.importorskip("pytables")

Describe the solution you'd like

a new kwarg to importorskip or a new function that catches ModuleNotFoundError instead of ImportError eg
importorskip(exc=ModuleNotFoundError) or findmoduleorskip(...)
