Paths in `use` statements are relative to the crate root. To import items
In Rust 2015, paths in `use` statements are relative to the crate root. To import items
relative to the current and parent modules, use the `self::` and `super::`
prefixes, respectively. Also verify that you didn't misspell the import
prefixes, respectively.

In Rust 2018, paths in `use` statements are relative to the current module unless they begin with the name of a crate or a literal `crate::`, in which case they start from the crate root. As in Rust 2015 code, the `self::` and `super::` prefixes refer to the current and parent modules.

Or, if you tried to use a module from an external crate and are using Rust 2015, you may have missed
the `extern crate` declaration (which is usually placed in the crate root):

```
extern crate core; // Required to use the `core` crate
extern crate core; // Required to use the `core` crate in Rust 2015.

use core::any;
# fn main() {}
```

In Rust 2018, the `extern crate` declaration is not required and you can instead just `use` it:

You'll need to add edition2018 to make it work I think.

use core::any; // No extern crate required in Rust 2018!
