pub struct Test;

Current output

error[E0432]: unresolved import `self::Test`
  --> src/lib.rs:10:15

Desired output

cannot export inherent associated items, only trait associated items

(import *is* resolved, just the wrong type)

Rationale and extra context

Previously, only module items could be re-exported, so, this error made sense from that perspective. However, with #134691, this no longer makes sense and is a little misleading. With the feature enabled, it should mention that this is possible with trait associated items, but not inherent associated items.

or, alternatively, it should be implemented for inherent associated items too.
