[Twisted-Python] twistd plugin documentation

I was just reading through the "Writing a twistd Plugin"[1]
documentation and ran into some confusion.  If you follow the
suggested directory structure (e.g. MyProject/myproject/__init__.py)
and name the plugin file twisted/plugins/myproject.py, any attempt to
"import myproject" from within the plugin file will import the plugin
module and not the myproject module.

I see that Twisted itself prefixes its plugin files (e.g.
twisted_web.py), perhaps to get around this problem.

So does that plugin documentation need a small update, or have I done
something to trip myself up?
