Quirky question time!

When you read out a qualified name, eg collections.OrderedDict, do you
read the qualifier ("collections dot ordered dict"), or do you elide
it ("ordered dict")? I ask because it makes a difference to talking
about just one of them:

... or possibly a collections.OrderedDict...
... or possibly an collections.OrderedDict...

Written, the latter looks completely wrong; but if the name is read in
its short form, with the "collections" part being implicit, then "an"
is clearly correct! What do you think, experts and others?
