I agree completely. Even worse, it's probably going to be

from Numerical        import *
from Structural       import *
from Gzenoidal        import *
from FFT_Numerical    import *
from FFT_Structural   import *
from FFT_Gzenoidal    import *
from LAPACK_Numerical import *
...

And that, at least for the reader, totally annihilates the "helpful"
distinction between the different types of functions. The underscore
solution, however esthetically unpleasing, is more useful and easier
to apply in practice.

Konrad.
