Description

Currently, the import mechanism allows one importing from the packages that were downloaded through `pub get` and `dart` packages (like `dart:collection`, `dart:async` etc.).

If we have #3, it would be interesting to allow pint° code to import other pint° code. If not, we won't ever be able to have 100% pint° programs, as we will have to compile them to Dart before.

Research direction

Start by reading the existing import mechanism and issue #3, since this request depends on that work. Determine how pint° source files could be resolved and imported alongside current package and Dart imports; done means pint° code can import other pint° code without compiling the entire program to Dart first.
