Adds names to types module so types are accessible as 
'type.spam' in addition to the existing longer version 
'types.SpamType'. 

The short names match the type's __name__ attribute.

"from * import types" is a rather common pydiom, and I'm 
pretty sure most people using that expects to get a bunch of 
[A-Z]\w+Type names, and nothing else.

-0 from me.

Oren, I sympathise with Fredrik's view. Unless there is
somebody speaking in favour of these changes, I'll reject
this patch by November 1.
