Dear Aidan, Do you have a trac account? I didn't find you there.
Your interesting question has triggered a very detailed answer by Nils, and other have suggested to turn it into proper documentation. As someone who is in the process of learning the internals of Sage too, I also think that explaining further about name usage in Python / Sage is a very useful contribution. I look forward to following up this thread in trac!
