```julia
julia> module foo end
Main.foo

julia> foo.Main
Main

julia> foo.Main.foo.Main.foo === foo
true

julia> x = 4
4

julia> Main.x
4

julia> foo.Main.x
4

```

Not quite sure why `foo` contains `Main`?

Does it “contain” `Main` or one would say that we can access the variables of `Main` using `Main.x` from inside `Foo`?
