What's the point in giving edir two modes if one of them is the same
as dir? You could just do "from module import edir" and then use
dir/edir as desired.
Personally I just use ipython's tab-completion instead of dir. It
shows the dunders if you first type underscores but hides them
otherwise e.g.:
In [1]: a = []
In [2]: a.<tab>
a.append a.count a.extend a.index a.insert a.pop
a.remove a.reverse a.sort
In [2]: a.__<tab>
a.__add__ a.__format__ a.__imul__ a.__new__
a.__setslice__
a.__class__ a.__ge__ a.__init__
a.__reduce__ a.__sizeof__
a.__contains__ a.__getattribute__ a.__iter__
a.__reduce_ex__ a.__str__
a.__delattr__ a.__getitem__ a.__le__ a.__repr__
a.__subclasshook__
a.__delitem__ a.__getslice__ a.__len__ a.__reversed__
a.__delslice__ a.__gt__ a.__lt__ a.__rmul__
a.__doc__ a.__hash__ a.__mul__ a.__setattr__
a.__eq__ a.__iadd__ a.__ne__ a.__setitem__
