groan.... its not intuitive (to me). because i can make CIE_Standards
class inherit from FileScanner classes in the udder module no problem
at runtime, so its a surprise to see it won't trace the tree properly
at runtime for isinstance issubclass.

> solution: never import the script you use as the main program.

i am only at the testing stage. neither of these modules will be main
at "usage" time.
