Insofar as it corresponds to the way absolute imports work, I don't
really have a problem with it.  It's still redundant ("from . import
fhi as jkl" does the same thing), but I'm more bothered by unclarity.

I'm not so sure the corresponding absolute import is right though,
although it's definitely intuitive.  Hell, I'm not so sure "import
abc.def.ghi" binding "abc" is right.
