+Attempt was made to import an unimportable value. This can happen when
+trying to import a method from a trait. An example of this error:
+
+```
+mod foo {
+    pub trait MyTrait {
+        fn do_something();
+    }
+}
+use foo::MyTrait::do_something;
+```
+
+In general, it's not legal to directly import methods belonging to a
+trait or concrete type.

 You can't import a value whose name is the same as another value defined in the
 module.
