If they're in *one* (maybe two; we'll see.) other module, it'd be hard to
guess where they are? At the top of the sys docs, we'll put "sys: Generic
Python interpreter services. For CPython specific tools, see the cpython
module" I don't see why people have to be able to "guess" where a given
object is. (It should be reasonably placed, of course.)
