It's perfectly legal to write `import packagename;` in a file 
that's inside the `packagename/` directory. You just have to make 
sure that *the current directory in your terminal window* is 
outside the `packagename/` directory when you run the compiler.

The D compiler *always* looks up files *relative to your 
terminal's current directory*. It does not care at all where the 
files are relative to each other.
