I almost have a solution to this problem, but I need a bit of help for 
the last bit.

If I create a module Carbon.Carbon that imports all APIs from the 
Carbon modules We're half way there:
	>>> Carbon.Carbon.Window
	<type '_Win.Window'>
	>>> Carbon.Carbon.NewWindow
	<built-in function NewWindow>
	>>> Carbon.Carbon.NewWindow.__module__
	'_Win'
The '_Win' bits aren't optimal, but that can probably be fixed into 
Carbon.Win somehow.

The bit I don't know how to do is the methods of the various objects. 
They print the right thing when you repr() them:
	>>> Carbon.Carbon.Window.ChangeWindowAttributes
	<method 'ChangeWindowAttributes' of '_Win.Window' objects>
but you really want to refer to it as 
"Carbon.Carbon.ChangeWindowAttributes".

Does anyone have a suggestion for a way to loop over all the objects in 
your namespace, check each object for being a class or type, for each 
matching one that isn't a duplicate find all the methods and put them 
in your namespace too?
