I moved ad, dd and rt from lino.api to lino. Because the word “api” is useless. And these modules aren’t pure shortcuts any more, but the classes they expose are actually defined in their submodules.

lino.ad now has submodules, and some modules move there:

Old name	New name
lino.api.ad	lino.ad
lino.api.dd	lino.d
lino.api.rt	lino.api.rt
lino.projects.std.settings	lino.ad.settings
lino.core.site	lino.core.site
lino.core.plugin	lino.core.plugin
lino.core.actions	lino.core.actions

The utils modules

• lino.utils : always available

• lino.dd.utils : available when settings have been loaded and while models are being defined

• lino.startup.utils : available when models have been loaded and during Lino startup

• lino.api.rt.utils : available after Lino startup
