I probably haven't made the point of the whole exercise clear enough: 
the problem is that you've found a routine (or object, or whatever)  in 
the Apple documentation that you want to use. How to find out where in 
the forest of Carbon submodules is this function located?

The idea is that for this purpose we create a single namespace that has 
everything. While you probably wouldn't want to use this namespace for 
day-to-day work (it's going to be a really big namespace) it would be 
handy to help you locate the place where MacPython puts the routine.
