A _use declaration_ creates one or more local name bindings synonymous
Expand All @@ -943,14 +945,18 @@ Use declarations support a number of convenient shortcuts:
* Simultaneously binding a list of paths differing only in their final element,
using the glob-like brace syntax `use a::b::{c,d,e,f};`
* Binding all paths matching a given prefix, using the asterisk wildcard syntax `use a::b::*;`
* Simultaneously binding a list of paths differing only in their final element
and their immediate parent module, using the `mod` keyword, such as `use a::b::{mod, c, d};`

An example of `use` declarations:

use std::option::{Some, None};
use std::collections::hashmap::{mod, HashMap};
# fn foo<T>(_: T){}
# fn bar(map: HashMap<String, uint>, set: hashmap::HashSet<String>){}
