Definitely not. It's a foolish thing to do. It only works here, because the 
module was told that it was a.b.c.d, in which case the directory structure 
wasn't what was used to find the module. Folders and files that are packages and 
modules really should match the names of the packages and modules that they 
are and use valid identifier names.
