You are right, this is sad :-( Thanks.

I think it would actually be pretty neat to support this properly,
because there are times where you end up having a directory containing a
single directory containing a single directory, ... just because of the
module path. Having to traverse three folders just to get to the source
code could easily be avoided if this was actually an official feature.

I filed a bug report:

If you have some argument why this would be a bad idea, feel free to add
a comment.

Best regards,
