Move __import__ to the bottom of the functions list.

It doesn't make sense for such a fundamental document to have
the most obscure function listed at the top.

-   ``__import__('spam', globals(), locals(), [], -1)``; the statement
-   ``from spam.ham import eggs`` results in ``__import__('spam.ham', globals(),

-   are passed in as arguments, the :func:`__import__` function does not set the

-   for the import statement.  (In fact, the standard implementation does not use
-   its *locals* argument at all, and uses its *globals* only to determine the

-   When the *name* variable is of the form ``package.module``, normally, the
-   top-level package (the name up till the first dot) is returned, *not* the
-   module named by *name*.  However, when a non-empty *fromlist* argument is
-   given, the module named by *name* is returned.  This is done for
-   compatibility with the :term:`bytecode` generated for the different kinds of import
-   statement; when using ``import spam.ham.eggs``, the top-level package
-   :mod:`spam` must be placed in the importing namespace, but when using ``from
-   spam.ham import eggs``, the ``spam.ham`` subpackage must be used to find the
-   ``eggs`` variable.  As a workaround for this behavior, use :func:`getattr` to
-   extract the desired components.  For example, you could define the following

-      def my_import(name):
