Quick! Name all the standard library modules, stat!
In Python 3.3, there are something like 410 modules in the standard library.
There's a reasonable chance that you've shadowed at least one but never
noticed. Yet.
I think it is a serious design flaw that the standard library and user code
co-exist in a single namespace.
