If I might offer one small comment...
It seems to me that this argument also goes to a code readability issue; ergo,
if you choose "from foobar..." as opposed to "import foobar", then from that

holds the list of names (of the objects) to be exported. Check it.
Below, a,b,c,f,g,X,Y are defined, but only c,g,Y are ex
