It might be more logical if the case where the module is found
but a requested name is not present in it raised AttributeError
or NameError instead of ImportError. I don't think I've ever had
a situation where conflating them both into ImportError was helpful.

ImportError itself would then have the meaning of the proposed
ModuleNotFoundError.
