With a period I don't know where the module ends and stuff in it begins. I
have to import the module to gain access to what's in it.

For example -

a.b.c.d could be interpreted as package.module.object.function, or
package.subpackage.subsubpackage.function.

If Python allowd me to access string.split without doing "import string"
first, then the period would work, but such is not the case.

David Gooder suggested a space - a space won't work because I would like
to keep the option of allowing multiple handler separated by space, a la
mod_perl.
