    @raise InvalidName: If the name is an empty string, starts or ends with
        a '.', or is otherwise syntactically incorrect.

    @raise ModuleNotFound: If the name is syntactically correct but the
        module it specifies cannot be imported because it does not appear to
        exist.

    @raise ObjectNotFound: If the name is syntactically correct, includes at
        least one '.', but the module it specifies cannot be imported because
        it does not appear to exist.

    @raise AttributeError: If an attribute of an object along the way cannot be
        accessed, or a module along the way is not found.
