Sorry, I forgot to answer this mail.

AIUI, lib::relative already exists: it's called FindBin (and the derivates).

pkg::relative would seem like an incorrect name because it carries a
semantic you can't achieve: in Perl, you don't load packages but modules,
which happen to define (or not) a package of the same name.

So, IMO, there's no other semantic to differentiate from when used
as a C<use> argument, hence the plain "relative" name.
