(Note that support for
use
is still gated behind a feature flag.)Use statements introduce the notion of "extern refs" -- i.e. NameRefs that actually indicate things whose definitions live in other modules. Previously we knew more directly when we were referring to an extern definition because it would go through a ColonRef.
This introduces first handling of extern refs and support for imports via the
use
construct. You still cannot use a module directly, just entities defined inside of it -- we'll maybe want something like a "Module" type to keep in the TypeInfo when we introduce the ability to use a module directly, but I also didn't want to mess with anything that could affect type inference v2 work, so this focuses on direct use of definitions into the module scope.Still also no support for "use *", I don't feel compelled to add support for that in any short order since it's also not usually a good practice and the mitigation of "type more" is not bad.
