      Currently, we shorten/obfuscate the module name when dynamically generating our framework-specific public API classes. E.g. when we create AsyncIOMotorClient we do:

      def create_asyncio_class(cls):
    return create_class_with_framework(cls, asyncio_framework, 'motor_asyncio')

AsyncIOMotorClient = create_asyncio_class(core.AgnosticClient)

      with the factory function defined as:

      def create_class_with_framework(cls, framework, module_name):
    motor_class_name = framework.CLASS_PREFIX + cls.__motor_class_name__
    cache_key = (cls, motor_class_name, framework)
    cached_class = _class_cache.get(cache_key)
    if cached_class:
        return cached_class

    new_class = type(str(motor_class_name), cls.__bases__, cls.__dict__.copy())
    new_class.__module__ = module_name
    new_class._framework = framework
    ...
    ...

      Consequently, AsyncIOMotorClient appears to belong (as per its _module_ value) to the motor_asyncio module, even though it actually resides in motor.motor_asyncio. This creates problems when we attempt to use intersphinx to link to the MOTOR documentation as seen in MOTOR-338.

      Unless there is a good rationale for fudging the _module_ of these classes, we should change the code so that it reflects the actual path.
