'Refactoring' is just a fancy way of saying 'reorganizing'.  What it 
means in this case is to look at the reason that you have 25 functions 
in this other module whose name you don't want to type.  Perhaps 
reassembling those functions into a class or two will let you have 
fewer names to import, or perhaps there's no compelling reason for 
them to be in a different module to begin with.  (Or, more likely, you 
should just not worry about using the module name.  It's really better 
to keep track of where all of your names come from, and fully 
qualified names do that nicely.  What do you see as the harm of using it?)
