The performance impact should be negligible.  Instead of 'component
in container._q_exports', we would have:

        for val in exports:
            if val == name:
                result = name
                break
            elif type(val) is types.TupleType:
                if val[0] == name:
                    result = val[1]
                    break
        else:
            result = None

For a reasonably short exports list my workstation can do that about
300000 times a second.   Thank you AMD. :-)
