FP syntax error use std::fmt::self;

use std::fmt::self;
fn main () {}

this compiles but ra diagnostics say

at crate ra, file /tmp/ra/src/main.rs: Error SyntaxError from LineCol { line: 0, col: 14 } to LineCol { line: 0, col: 18 }: Syntax Error: The `self` keyword is only allowed as the first segment of a path

this compiles

This is fake

error[E0429]: `self` imports are only allowed within a { } list
 --> src/bin/main.rs:1:13

Oh, ok
