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:

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.
