I'm working on producing an edit, but if you just want to Pronounce, that's fine with me. There hasn't been a lot of emotion attached, and nobody has gotten seriously annoyed with the multiple dot idea.

I guess going grocery shopping removed my voice in this area *wink*. There was a thread on an a VMS-style relative package option that used negative integers for a relative imports. The thread with this line of thought starts with Stephen Horne's post here: http://groups.google.com/groups?q=g:thl3068059620d&dq=&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&c2coff=1&safe=off&selm=ra4q401p3ld92uthl6l34u8vfqq39567n0%404ax.com I personally like that it is concise for deeply nested relative imports, and doesn't require counting of dots. We didn't really get any 'elder developers' to comment on that syntax. - Josiah
