`com_spam.app1`!?  I would even recommend this with domains that don't 
clash with keywords because if several people start to use this package 
name convention you will get name clashes at package level.  Say there 
are two vendors with a `com` TLD, how do you install their packages?  
Into the same `com/` subdirectory?  The `__init__.py` of which vendor 
should live at the `com/` directory level?  If you install them into two 
different directories but want to import modules from both vendors -- how?
