it seems like my entire concept of having "root" and "root.subpackage", the way 
"sqlalchemy" and "sqlalchemy.orm" do, is just entirely wrong from a "namespace 
package" point of view.  While I think what I'm doing does actually work, this 
is not what anyone had in mind with "namespace packages".

I'm tempted to just merge these two things together.   But I think I'll just 
move "dogpile" into "dogpile.core" and just get in line with everyone else.
