1.32: Starting relative paths with self when specified after use already not necessary.

[santids]

Hi There! New to the community.

Reading the book I found this line and decided to try it.

Starting relative paths with self when specified after use might not be neccesary in the future; it’s an inconsistency in the language that people are working on eliminating.

open https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch07-02-modules-and-use-to-control-scope-and-privacy.html

Using rustc version 1.32.0 (9fda7c223 2019-01-16), the self keyboard is already not necessary.

The following code compiles without errors

mod sound {
    pub mod instrument {
        pub fn clarinet () {
            super::voice::sing();
            println!("clarinet");

        }
    }

    pub mod voice {
        pub fn sing () {

        }
    }

}

use sound::instrument;
use self::sound::instrument;

Yes, the book is currently frozen at 1.31. We will update this when the book moves to 1.32. Thanks!

btw, there's a typo: "neccesary" there.

There's no such typo in the book.

Turns out #1820 fixed this. Thanks!
