This is important because it provides ways of referring to
things in the module without having to write out the whole
module name every time, e.g.
import math as m
y = m.sin(x)
Would it be useful to pull out mystring.re and use it this
way? I don't know. Maybe sometimes, the same way that
extracting bound methods is sometimes useful.
