Comment (by mojojojo):

 Replying to [comment:3 jstolarek]:

 You're missing the point here. The issue is that the message does not make
 sense specifically when the namespace is **not imported in any way**. It
 misleads the user to assume that it is imported but does not contain the
 member (or has it hidden), when the issue is absolutely different.

 Your example is simply not related to the issue.
