Research direction

Start with dict_lookup_demo.py, the linked demonstration of the reported behavior, and review the Python Interpreter Core import lookup path. The issue does not specify the desired dispatch semantics, so confirm the expected behavior from the original BPO discussion before defining completion and any regression coverage.
