Dynamic lookup should work in all cases.  If you don't want to run the
lookup code for every access, _q_resolve() is similar to _q_lookup() except
that it's called exactly once; whatever it returns is stored on the object.

def _q_resolve (component):
    if component == 'rdf-model':
        return rdf_model

def rdf_model (...):
    pass

The first time _q_resolve is run, the publisher will do setattr(module,
'rdf-model', ) and _q_resolve won't be called again.
