Is this a new and wonderful meaning of the word "shortcut"?

No, it just saves you typing ex25. in front of every name in the module.

Of course, the "import *" technique is frowned upon because
of the risk of introducing name conflicts, so its not really a
recommended "shortcut"...

_Why_, _how_ is
that a shortcut for:

import ex25

when it has seven *more* characters (counting the spaces)? Or, put another
way, twice as many words? :-/

It is obviously an alternative, but I just don't get that it is a shortcut.

Thanks,
