Previously packages were stored in `Main` and as a side effect modules defined in `Main` could be loaded as if they were packages. That is no longer the case: packages are not stored in `Main` and you cannot load modules defined in `Main` that way. In 0.7 `import X` can only be used to load actual packages (via `LOAD_PATH` etc. as described in [code loading](https://docs.julialang.org/en/stable/manual/code-loading/index.html)). Now if you want to load a module defined in `Main` from `Main` you have to load it with `import .X`; to load it from a submodule of `Main` you have to do `import ..X`.
