While by and large this does seem to work well, there is often value in
having a second package for the tests, that uses the library’s main
package. Otherwise you can accidentally use internal symbols in your tests
in ways not publicly exposed to real users of your library; on those
occasions when you really do need access to internal symbols in your tests
it seems better to have to explicitly import or qualify them.
