Hey, while we're at it... as long as we're renaming modules,
what do you all think of getting rid of that "lib" suffix?

As in:

> net
>         urlparse
>         url
>         ftp
>         gopher
>         imap
>         pop
>         nntp
>         smtp
>         telnet
>         http
>         cgi
>         server
[...]

>         sgml
>         html
>         htmlentitydefs
[...]


"import net.ftp" seems nicer to me than "import ftplib".

We could also just stick htmlentitydefs.entitydefs in html
and deprecate htmlentitydefs.
