I'm not, because it breaks importing from the interactive prompt if you change directory after starting the session.
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?
