i just checked in Revision 809 which does this for all the xxxobject.py
files and a few xxxtype.py files. For some details see 

    http://codespeak.net/pipermail/pypy-svn/2003-June/000347.html

The only exception is intobject.py because test/test_intobject.py
directly uses the names in intobject.py instead of going through
the StdObjSpace or Type object.  I didn't fully understand the
OverflowError/restricted_int business so i left the intobject
for the time beeing. Any comment appreciated. 

After changing the registration mechanism i think the xxxobject.py
files are now in a more consistent and easier-to-read state. 
Hopefully i didn't break anything. 

greetings,
