E0603 : constant import ... is private gives incrorrect suggestions

Code

mod delicious_snacks {
    use self::fruits::PEAR as fruit;

    mod fruits {
        pub const PEAR: &str = "Pear";
        pub const APPLE: &str = "Apple";
    }
}

fn main() {
    println!("favorite snack: {} ", delicious_snacks::fruit,);
}

Current output

error[E0603]: constant import `fruit` is private
  --> src/main.rs:11:55
   |
11 |     println!("favorite snack: {} ", delicious_snacks::fruit,);
   |                                                       ^^^^^ private constant import

  --> src/main.rs:2:9

 2 |     use self::fruits::PEAR as fruit;
   |         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
note: ...and refers to the constant `PEAR` which is defined here
  --> src/main.rs:5:9
   |
 5 |         pub const PEAR: &str = "Pear";
   |         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ you could import this directly
help: import `fruit` through the re-export
   |
11 -     println!("favorite snack: {} ", delicious_snacks::fruit,);
11 +     println!("favorite snack: {} ", fruits::fruit,);

Desired output

Rationale and extra context

the "you could import this directly" is incorrect, maybe not as important.

having no help could be fine.

the help message is wrong in 2 important ways :

• the fruits module does not have a fruit constant. (it got confused by the alias)
• the fruits module is not accessible from line 11
