090. An unqualified USE foo statement imports public entities defined in foo and what foo imported.#

topic: Modules

Note

This tip is a draft1.

use foo

imports not only the public entities defined in module foo but also the entities that foo imports from module bar. To avoid inadvertent imports and clarify what is imported, write

use foo, only: <imports> use bar, only: <imports> ! if any
