PEP305 csv package: from csv import csv?

[Hamish Lawson]

According to the documentation in progress at

     http://www.python.org/dev/doc/devel/whatsnew/node14.html

use of the forthcoming csv module (as described in PEP305) requires it to 
be imported from the csv package:

     from csv import csv

     input = open('datafile', 'rb')
     reader = csv.reader(input)
     for line in reader:
         print line

Is there some reason why the cvs package's __init__.py doesn't import the 
required names from cvs.py, so allowing the shorter form below?

     import csv

     input = open('datafile', 'rb')
     reader = csv.reader(input)
     for line in reader:
         print line
