+**DON'T** import implementation files from another package.
+
+From the the [pub package layout doc]
+(https://www.dartlang.org/tools/pub/package-layout.html#implementation-files):
+
+The libraries inside `lib` are publicly visible: other packages are free to
+import them. But much of a package's code is internal implementation libraries
+that should only be imported and used by the package itself. Those go inside a
+subdirectory of `lib` called `src`. You can create subdirectories in there if
+it helps you organize things.
+
+You are free to import libraries that live in `lib/src` from within other Dart
+code in the same package (like other libraries in `lib`, scripts in `bin`,
+and tests) but you should never import from another package's `lib/src`
+directory. Those files are not part of the package’s public API, and they
+might change in ways that could break your code.
+
+**Bad:**
+
+```
+// In 'road_runner'
+import 'package:acme/lib/src/internals.dart;
+```

I think "?? false" is not necessary, because null == 'package' already gives
"false".

Spot on.  I extracted this method and missed that it was no longer needed.
Fixed. Thanks!

Make 'rule' final?

[pquitslund, 2015/10/31 23:13:09]

Done.  Aside: I'm puzzled as to why I haven't done this for for rule visitors as
I'm usually such a stickler.

Thanks!
