Sure. In the OP's given path "github.com/username/sherlock-server", if it
provides either "package sherlock" or "package server" it's not too bad.
Thanks for pointing me to goimports. That does indeed rewrite the example
as
import (
"fmt"
foo "example.com/my/module/with-a-very-weird-name"
)
Note that goimports theses days adds the package name explicitly to the
import if the package name is not identical to the last component of the
import path. So on the readability front, the cost seem pretty low to me.
It does have a cost on the writing side, as goimports might not find the
packag
P.S. I don't really recommend this, since you can't tell by inspection of
main.go which import provides "foo.Greeting". And I'm struggling to think
of any real-world examples where I've seen this used.

I think he means in general, you can do this:
// go.mod says "module github.com/my/module/with-a-very-weird-name"
package foo
...
and when you import it, you still get a package "foo". That's
Assuming by package name your mean
package "packagename"
and import path
import "importpath"
Guess by "even if it wasn't" you mean "even if it wasn't top level and was
exporting functionality"
but don't quite understand what you meant

FWIW the package name doesn't *have* to be the same as the import path. So
even if it wasn't, you could name the package something else and still use
that import path.
Otherwise, there would be the option to use `_`, which is valid inside an
identifier.

Apparently, because it is a top level module and it won't be exporting
anything it is actually fine.
Thanks.

Yes that can be your module name, it won't affect much
