You in fact cannot include your own package's files without ./ -- if you 
omit that, you're stuck with absolute paths (never a good idea in a 
portable module without good reason), or loading from other modules -- 
require('helper/index.js') loads index.js from the helper module in 
node_modules; require('./helper/index.js') loads index.js from the helper 
directory next to the file the statement is in. Very different behaviors 
and meanings.
