Description

In the summary of the [import-export chapter](https://javascript.info/import-export#summary) they use `... from "module"`.
Wouldn't it be more correct to write `... from "path/to/module"` or something like that?
Isn't that the essential point of `export`/`import ... from ...` - that it requires a relative/absolute path and not just a file name?!

Research direction

Start with the import-export chapter's linked Summary section and compare its `... from "module"` examples with the chapter's explanation of module paths. Done means the summary accurately clarifies whether imports require relative or absolute paths, without contradicting the surrounding tutorial.
