Description

https://gitlab.redox-os.org/redox-os/relibc/

Relibc has an unusual structure: Inside the src dir there are multiple dirs which each contain a regular cargo project with Cargo.toml and src/lib.rs, but also a ./mod.rs, which is used from the top-level src/lib.rs. For these mod.rs ide features are not working.

Research direction

Start by examining the relibc layout linked in the issue: the nested Cargo.toml and src/lib.rs files, the sibling mod.rs files, and the top-level src/lib.rs. Reproduce the missing IDE features for mod.rs files and trace how rust-analyzer discovers these modules; done means those files receive working IDE support.
