Importing a package relative to current module in path. For 
example, being able to import `std.range` from 
`std.algorithm.iteration` without specifying `std`. The syntax 
might be `import package.package.range`, where `package` means 
the parent module.

The idea is the same as with relative symbolic links (for example 
`../bin/dmd`), as opposed to absolute symbolic links (say 
`/home/walter/d/bin/dmd`)
