But when seeing the barename yy, it gives no clue whether the module
you're reading used 'from xx import yy' or defined yy in any other way
(localy, globally, or in any intermediate scope).

'from' has many other disadvantages, such as working badly with reload
_except_ when used specifically to import a module.
