Misleading Module docs for using and importall

General Usage
1

I was looking at the examples from https://docs.julialang.org/en/stable/manual/modules/#Summary-of-module-usage-1 and the “What is brought into scope” info for “importall MyModule” doesn’t seem to be right (at least not in the way I understand it). It says it only brings into scope x and y. So I would expect, for example, that MyModule.x or MyModule.p will not be brought into scope. But that is not the case.

In fact, in regards to “What is brought into scope”, the effect of importall is exactly like the effect of using, so the doc should show the same thing.

julia> using MyModule

julia> x()
"x"

julia> y()
"y"

julia> MyModule.x()
"x"

julia> MyModule.y()
"y"

julia> MyModule.p()
"p"

julia> importall MyModule

julia> x()
"x"

julia> y()
"y"

julia> MyModule.x()
"x"

julia> MyModule.y()
"y"

julia> MyModule.p()
"p"

Note that importall is removed on master, see https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/23968

All right, thanks - in this case, I will just ignore it.
