Feature.

If you're running a program "publish" from a directory called
"package" that does not make this directory into a package. Hence,
importing "sister" just imports it from the "current directory"
whereas importing "package.sister" initializes the package and then
imports sister from it.

Moral is: don't put "programs" into packages, or always import fully
qualified module names.

I had the same problem before:
