Error code E0253

Note: this error code is no longer emitted by the compiler.

Attempt was made to import an unimportable type. This can happen when trying to import a type from a trait.

Erroneous code example:

#![feature(import_trait_associated_functions)] mod foo { pub trait MyTrait { type SomeType; } } use foo::MyTrait::SomeType; // error: `SomeType` is not directly importable fn main() {}

It's invalid to directly import types belonging to a trait.
