Note that regular code almost never imports views.

But test code does. Because we put tests in subpackages, tests always have to
use absolute imports, which is tedious. I don't really want to clutter regular
code directories with test modules. I wish there was a way to *explicitly* do
relative imports from the package containing a package.
