Description
What it does
Items imported from current crate should be prefixed with crate::
Advantage
- distinguish from dependencies
- Maintain consistent coding style
Different import styles could exist at same time:
use crate::foo::qux;
use foo::bar;
Drawbacks
None
Example
use foo::bar;
Could be written as:
use crate::foo::bar;
