Description
The only public log::error is a macro: https://docs.rs/log/0.4.14/log/macro.error.html. There is a private use std::error, but it isn't publicly visible: https://docs.rs/log/0.4.14/src/log/lib.rs.html#287

Research direction
Start with the linked docs.rs page for the public log::error macro and log/lib.rs around line 287 to confirm the public/private distinction. Then reproduce the import result in rust-analyzer and trace the relevant name-resolution path; done means the diagnostic no longer reports std::error for this import.
