Description

something like `str(Label("//label"))` so that rule developers have a nice method to resolve labels even if someone imports your repository in a different name.
Spotted with @damienmg during a hack session

Research direction

The issue does not name a file, test, or entry point. Start by locating the Label abstraction and existing label-resolution behavior in the repository, then determine the expected behavior for str(Label("//label")) when the repository is imported under another name. Done means the method resolves labels correctly and has coverage for that import scenario.
