    target source imports via a specified name.

    `modulename` is an `dotted_name_of_path()`-ed source file path,
    which may have `.__init__` at the end of it, of the target source.

    `localmods` is a dict (or set), of which key is an absolute
    `dotted_name_of_path()`-ed source file path of locally defined (=
    Mercurial specific) modules.

    This function assumes that module names not existing in
    `localmods` are ones of Python standard libarary.

    This function returns the function, which takes `name` argument,
    and returns `(absname, dottedpath, hassubmod)` tuple if `name`
    matches against locally defined module. Otherwise, it returns
    False.

    It is assumed that `name` doesn't have `.__init__`.

    `absname` is an absolute module name of specified `name`
    (e.g. "hgext.convert"). This can be used to compose prefix for sub
    modules or so.

    `dottedpath` is a `dotted_name_of_path()`-ed source file path
    (e.g. "hgext.convert.__init__") of `name`. This is used to look
    module up in `localmods` again.

    `hassubmod` is whether it may have sub modules under it (for
    convenient, even though this is also equivalent to "absname !=
    dottednpath")
