I ran into this too, it is annoying. I think you're supposed
to use different names.
It's a rather painful limitation if that were the case.
Going with the example I gave, what would an alternative name
for the module be? All it's public members are named `leastsq`.
While I can imagine there are technical challenges that have
caused this issue to be the way it is, it's still a pretty
major flaw to try to work around.
Working around shortcomings of a language is never a good place
to be in.
It's slightly annoying, yes, but is it a big deal? Can't you just
name the module lsq rather than leastsq? Apparently this is a
tradeoff of inconvenience for simplicity.
