Can't bring nested mod into scope with use foo::foo #5130
Description
The use foo::foo; line seems to do nothing at all, the reference to foo inside main still seems to resolve to the outer foo.
mod foo {
pub mod foo {
pub fn f() {}
}
}
use foo::foo;
fn main() {
foo::f();
}
hw.rs:10:4: 10:10 error: unresolved name: foo::f hw.rs:10 foo::f(); ^~~~~~
Should the use item just be illegal if it collides with an existing name? This issue confused me for quite a while with the rust-sdl package's sdl crate that contains an sdl mod.
