#### Note: this error code is no longer emitted by the compiler.

Attempt was made to import an unimportable type. This can happen when trying
to import a type from a trait.

Erroneous code example:

```
#![feature(import_trait_associated_functions)]

mod foo {
    pub trait MyTrait {
        type SomeType;
    }
}

use foo::MyTrait::SomeType;
// error: `SomeType` is not directly importable

fn main() {}
```

It's invalid to directly import types belonging to a trait.
