It would also be mildly confusing to allow both of these
from sage.coding.punctured_code import PuncturedCode
PuncturedCode(...)
and
codes.punctured_code(...)
So your suggestion would imply that we should discourage users from using
the former style. Then that we don't have
R.<x> = rings.polynomial_ring(QQ)
but only
R.<x> = PolynomialRing(QQ)
would confuse some users.
