It may be too late to rename the existing accidents, but why not add
consistently-named aliases (socket.Socket, datetime.DateTime, etc) and
strongly encourage their use in new code?
Or make the old names aliases for the new names and start a
PendingDeprecationWarning on the old names so they can be switched in the
distant future?
Should the names in the __repr__ be changed now or later?
>>> datetime(2008, 7, 31, 12, 0, 0)
datetime.datetime(2008, 7, 31, 12, 0)
