+      This is a very simple decorator and function which populates a module's
+      __all__ and optionally the module globals.
+
+      This provides both a pure-Python implementation and a C implementation. It is
+      proposed that the C implementation be added to builtins_ for Python 3.6.
+
+      This proposal seems to have been rejected, for more information see
