I think a challenge here is that we're creating entirely new syntax. There isn't any support in the language today for `.` or `..` as leading characters, and I don't know that on its own this scenario is so common as to warrant entirely new syntax. In particular `..Another` I think is just generally less good than `Some.Module.Another.Part`, the extra characters aren't onerous to write and they improve readability because I don't need to look elsewhere to compute the module being imported.
