Hmmm, to have a "shadow package" that is unpolluted. Might be an idea. Make it 
API identical ...

Another option to have a "vidual_" package that actually implements all the 
stuff, and then have a "visual" package (for backward compatibility) that 
imports "from visual_ import *" as well as does the other wild imports from 
NumPy and math.

That might do the trick ... while trying to keep the implementation as clean 
as possible.
