That *would* work, but ox-taskjuggler has to correct for the fact that
T8 does not live in M2's bucket (M). Using T8 gives me this:

#+begin_src TJ
  task M2 "Task" {
    depends !T8
    milestone
  }
#+end_src

But that gives a compilation error becaust tj3 is looking for task
M.T8 when it should be T.T8.

#+begin_src terminal

$ tj3 test.tjp

Reading file test.tjp                                        [      Done      ]
test.tjp:11: Error in scenario plan: Task M.M2 has unknown depends M.T8%===   ]

#+end_src

Perhaps this analogy would help. I've just created two directories and
two files. Here's the output of =tree= at the command line:

|-- M
|   |-- M1
|   `-- M2
|-- T
|   |-- T1
|   `-- T2

I want to link M1 to T1. The current behavior is trying to do so with
./T1, which doesn't work since M/T1 doesn't exist. I have to do
../T/T1.

This is how TJ works, which is why it can't resolve T8 by itself,
unless you correct for the proper relative path with respect to the
current parent. Relative directory path periods are akin to TJ's =!=
syntax.

- ./file -> !task_id
- ../file -> !!task_id
- ../dir/file -> !!task_id (dir).task_id (file)
