We already end up with absolute paths in objects anyway, just not 
consistently. If it were consistently relative paths that would be fine 
too, but it looks like Rust likes to internally absolute-ize some paths, 
that's why I wrote this patch to make it always like that.

TIL about remap-path-prefix, that looks very useful! I'll give it a try.
