I notice that most(all?) of those are from pretty old modules, which

I think it would be good to clean this up with a set of aliases -- but
it is a fair bit of code-churn for not much real gain. I guess it
comes down to:
- How much maintenance do those modules see anyway? Are they changing
much, if at all between recent versions?
- How often to "end users" use them -- as opposed to using high level
packages on top of them? What I'm getting at here is that it's a lot
more important that a newbie or casual scripter gets consistent names
than for package maintainers.
I almost had my latest lib use lowercase "error" because I was basing it
off of re module public API.

Thanks for pointing those out.
At least when the alias is `error = OtherName` the text is the
stack trace are informative.
