Purpose
The import functions are now simple functions that take a module and path to import and return an object representing the successful import. Previously, substantial amounts of state were implicit, or set directly onto the
Documentersubclass. This should help with testing in the future, as autodoc importing no longer requires any of the core Sphinx classes.References
