It seems that a type definition will not introduce an implicit module for static methods defined in the thing being typedef'd. Consider the example below: one would expect Shaper::new() to resolve correctly.
Testcase:
mod foo {
pub struct FooShaper {
dummy: int
}
pub impl FooShaper {
static pub fn new() -> FooShaper {
FooShaper { dummy: 1337 }
}
}
}
fn main() {
type Shaper/& = foo::FooShaper;
let sh = Shaper::new();
assert 1 + sh.dummy == 1338;
}
Compiler errors:
