In addition, when considering the standard library you need to search the
source repository, not just what's installed on your platform. I noticed in
your earlier post that you pointed your count_names script (very handy, btw)
at your /usr/lib/pythonN.M directory. Pointing it at the source repository
picks up stuff in the platform-dependent sections as well as searching
through other less-used code.

It doesn't seem lispish to me. OTOH, "make" seems more utilitarian than
"create". For instance, cooks make things while chefs create things.
Perhaps "make" is better anyway. The proposed statement is essentially a
namespace factory. I think of object factories as very utilitarian beasts.
