But it is the interpreter prompt. The idea is that you can copy an interpreter 
session into a doctest and it will just work.

That would be truly a lot of magic. I think it should be more something like: 

from fsutil import * 

But anyways, putting stuff in globs is used for lots of doctests, so you might 
as well get used to that.
