I'm not denying your proposal, just adding to it:

The code you posted is a handy technique for sys and other "top-level"
builtins. We still need "import as" for packages, to shorten deep
references.

import custom.framework.app.tools.listtools as lt
bag1 = lt.Bag([1,2,3])
bag2 = lt.Bag([4,5,6])
bag3 = lt.Bag([7,8,9])

--- versus ---

bag1 = custom.framework.app.tools.listtools.Bag([1,2,3])
bag2 = custom.framework.app.tools.listtools.Bag([4,5,6])
bag3 = custom.framework.app.tools.listtools.Bag([7,8,9])

...likewise, "from package import module" needs to stick around (for
similar reasons).
