Really, a lot of these modules exist primarily to export a single
class or function, but have other classes or functions of secondary
interest.  I'd like to be able to get to the primary function without
needing to use a qualifier, and be able to get to the secondary ones
by using a qualifier instead of having to import explicitly and
clutter up the importing module's name space like that.  It just seems
natural.
