Description

rust-analyzer version: 0.3.1877-standalone

rustc version: 1.76

code snippet to reproduce:

use std::process::Command as Cmd;

mod inner {
    fn f() {
        Cmd
    }
}

Cmd isn't auto-imported when triggering completion, and the quickfix menu only offers importing std::process::Command, not the reexported Cmd.

Research direction

Start with the Rust snippet in the issue and reproduce completion and quickfix behavior for the renamed import Cmd inside inner. Trace the auto-import and quickfix handling for reexports; done means completion and the quickfix menu both offer the renamed Cmd import.
