My first reaction was that returning 'module.name' was more helpful and
saved more typing than just 'name', but I don’t have any real arguments.

I will update the patch on http://bugs.python.org/issue13224 to change
the repr of functions and modules.  People concerned about breakage will
be able to compile a patched Python to test their code.

Cheers
