__Symbols__.py -- support for "from __Symbols__ import xxx",

$Id$
NOTE: This module replaces its entry in sys.modules with a
_FakeModule_for_Symbols object. That object probably doesn't support reload.
So this module is effectively not reloadable.
TODO: it might be possible to make this reloadable
by passing in a new version of getattr_func,
or if the reload would occur in here, passing in a
source for new getattr_funcs. The Python 2.3 new import hooks
might also help with this. Details not yet analyzed.
