 `import_statements` suggest to import `log` this way:

 {{{
 sage: import_statements('log')
 # **Warning**: distinct objects with name 'log' in:
 #   - sage.functions.log
 #   - math
 #   - sage.functions
 #   - sage.misc.functional
 from sage.misc.functional import log
 }}}

 While those works:

 {{{
 sage: math.log(float(3))
 1.0986122886681098
 sage: sage.functions.log.log(float(3))
 1.0986122886681098
 }}}

 This one raises an `AttributeError`:

 {{{
 sage: sage.misc.functional.log(float(3))
 Traceback (most recent call last):
 ...
 AttributeError: 'sage.rings.real_double.RealDoubleElement' object has no
 attribute '_log_base'
 }}}

 A subquestion is why do we have two implementations of `log`?
