Typo'd Imports Result in Confusing Error Message

[jackie-scholl]

I wanted to use the chrono crate, so I added it to Cargo.toml and put an import at the top of main.rs: use chono::prelude::*, where I typo`d chrono as chono. I got this error message:

error[E0433]: failed to resolve: use of undeclared type or module `chono`
 --> src/main.rs:2:5
  |
2 | use chono::prelude::*;
  |     ^^^^^ use of undeclared type or module `chono`

I didn't see the typo, and I was confused because I thought I must have put the import in the wrong place, because it said I hadn't declared the module that I was declaring on that line. I checked the docs for E0433, and in the example given someone had forgotten to import the module at all, so I was surprised to see that error on an import line.

This is one of few cases for which typo suggestions are not yet implemented (#30197 (comment)).
