The use declaration

The use declaration can be used to bind a full path to a new name, for easier access. It is often used like this:

use crate::deeply::nested::{my_first_function, my_second_function, AndAType};

fn main() {
    my_first_function();
}

You can use the as keyword to bind imports to a different name:

// Bind the `deeply::nested::function` path to `other_function`.
use deeply::nested::function as other_function;

fn function() {
    println!("called `function()`");
}

mod deeply {
    pub mod nested {
        pub fn function() {
            println!("called `deeply::nested::function()`");
        }
    }
}

fn main() {
    // Easier access to `deeply::nested::function`
    other_function();
    function();
}
