Or this maybe should be the other way around.  When a module begins with an 
underscore it should be considered a private implementation detail.  So 
__module__, in the case of partial, is already set to the correct value.

But when the actual name is needed instead of the official name,  A global 
flag can be set.  Then when module is a property, it will get the actual 
name, instead of the official name.
