Is there a good reason why I can't do something like:
import mypackage
import mymodule
x = mypackage(arg, kwarg)
y = mymodule + 3
and other methods, etc. using the __special__ methods.
Also, wouldn't it be cool if modules/packages could have metaclass-
like handlers…
I'm sure there's a good reason why this is just crazy talk
implementation-wise, but I'd like to hear what it is. Python has
merged types and classes, why not merging in packages and modules, too?
