toplevel "proto' folder exposed

[thehesiod]

this module exposes a top-level "proto" folder which can conflict with any projects which have a top-level "proto" folder used as imports. All top-level folders exposed by this project should be prefixed / namespaced.

proto-plus version 1.24.0

I'm very interested in this, because we have many proto bindings that are under the "proto" namespace package.

This package is used in a build process that we layer over the project's virtual environment using uv run --with. This creates an ephemeral environment with these dependencies over the project's by adding it in front in sys.path, and ends up hiding the project's dependencies.

Will a new major version happen anytime soon?
