It would be two lines of code for backward compatibility, if we
changed this.  I'm +0 on changing _q_getname to _q_lookup.

If we're changing names, remember that:
 _q_getname is called for names not in _q_exports, and isn't memoized.
 _q_resolve is called for names     in _q_exports, and is    memoized.

Can we pick names that make this distinction slightly clearer?
(_q_resolve has only been in 0.6 betas so far, so we can still change
it.)

It serves the purpose of not serving a purpose, surely quite a valid one.
