I have Aahz's revision ready to check in, but I'm unclear on one
point.  Is the accepted/pronounced relative import syntax dots only,
or can there be a branch too?  In other words, is the "Y" here
acceptable (where Y is a sibling to the current module's package)?

     from ..Y import X

I think the PEP needs a clear statement (and examples) of which syntax
**and semantics** have been chosen.
