Comment (by EvilDMP):

 I agree that simply turning on display of modules with `add_module_names`
 would be a rather scattershot approach. Module names are not always
 provided anyway.

 I think that the best approach would be for code samples to include
 imports, or at least the first one of a batch of them.

 Similarly, if an object's path is not clear from its reasonably immediate
 context, then it should be spelled out in full the first time it's
 introduced in its reference documentation.

 If there's a list of objects all from the same module, the module can be
 mentioned once at the top of the list.
