Cannot find macro from subcrate

[Dylan-DPC-zz]

Setup:

You have a workspace, with one subcrate. The subcrate contains a macro (which is exported).

The main crate in the workspace uses the subcrate as a dependency, but it cannot resolve the macro by importing it with use (the 2018 edition way)

Here is a PoC: https://github.com/Dylan-DPC/macros-workspace-test

Rust version: 1.33.0 (stable)
Edition: 2018

[petrochenkov]

use subcrate::macros::foo -> use subcrate::foo.
macro_export-ed macros are placed into the crate root rather than into the module they are defined in.

AFAIR, the latter was considered during macro import stabilization, but it was too late for a breaking change that large.

Thanks. Will try this and get back to you
