Public bug reported:
mat puts a module named "lib" in dist-packages. importing "lib" will
therefore refer to this module provided by mat.
The name "lib" is so common that it is likely to conflict with other python
modules. A local python package that also contains a module named "lib" will
mysteriously fail if the system package appears first in sys.path (which I
believe is default).
The name "lib" is so generic as to provide no indication as to the fact that it
comes from mat.
The module name should be qualified as a submodule of mat.
