Heh.  I've never thought of doing that.  I would not have expected it
to work (change directory from the interactive prompt and be able to
import something located in the new cwd).  I don't know why I wouldn't
have expected it to work, I just didn't.

That said, could this insertion of '' only happen when the interactive
prompt is actually posted, and otherwise use cwd?
