I do not think that this is always a problem. It is common to refactor the code
by defining names in submodules and then importing them in the main module. For
example, in `json/__init__.py`:
from .decoder import JSONDecoder, JSONDecodeError
from .encoder import JSONEncoder
It is possible even to use a star import.
So this change would break much more code.
I believe I covered that in my last email. I'll repeat it here for clarity: if
you indent to re-export you can do that explicitly:
from foo import bar
bar = bar
I think breaking a whole lot of existing code is a bad idea. This just
isn't a big problem in practice. We've typically said that the
documentation is the final word on what's public, and that we can change
anything else.
