Think of an XML template.  There are other examples of why this
is interesting too, but all of them relate to how finding paths
relative to the loaded module is useful.

You mean before the module() call, right?  Yes, that's the workaround
I'm using now.  It doesn't feel elegant as a standard way to do things,
though.  I have code like the following already:

  local print = print
  ...
  module(...)
