        I think the question is more accurately phrased "what harm was there in 
importing those things?"

        Do you see performance improvements? Lower memory requirements? 

        I thought that namespaces were managed by dicts, and that they were all 
pointers to each other, so having, say, dabo.dApp defined doesn't take up any 
significant memory over not adding it to the namespace.
