Pull Request Description
It appears that when were doing
from XYZ import all
the module
XYZ
was also being taken into account during name resolution.This was unfortunate and became problematic when one had a type with the same name defined in it.
During pattern matching one could not simply do
since the compiler would complain that we try to pattern match on a type but give it a module.
The module is now excluded from the name resolution, when importing everything from the module.
It appears that this "feature" was used in a number of our tests, so they had to be adapted.
This fixes task 4 in https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/183833055
