Yup, but the one here isn't exported so can't be seen outside the
module (and we wouldn't want that).

On a per-.ml file, if you're using a lot of 'Guestfs.*' prefixes in
that file, then feel free to declare 'module G = Guestfs' at the top
of the same file.  (The same goes for any other module that is used
frequently)
