# mypy: allow-untyped-defs
"""Import mangling.
Every :class:`~tensorplay.package.PackageImporter` loads the modules it owns
under a unique synthetic top-level package so that identically named modules
from different packages (or from the surrounding interpreter) never collide in
``sys.modules``-like registries. This module implements the naming scheme for
those synthetic parents, along with helpers to recognize, strip, and extract
them.
