I agree with this, the 2 images and 1 ECG signal (to be added) that we have
doesn't justify a top-level module. We don't want to grow more than the
absolute minimum of datasets. The package is already very large, which is
problematic in certain cases. E.g. numpy + scipy still fits in the AWS
Lambda limit of 50 MB, but there's not much margin.
