This seems a rather drastic solution, and ugly to boot (3 lines of code 
every time I want to import something?). And won't this making reloading 
modules much more problematic?

There might be other ways to solve it - for example, module names can 
BeCapitalized, which solves the vairable/module clashing issue (then 
it's harder to differentiate between module and classes, but there are 
certainly much fewer classes then there are variables).

What methods do other large frameworks do to solve the issue?
