Yes. 'mod foo' is a definition just like 'mod foo { ... }' and will
shadow any 'use' directive. As a result of this shadowing relationship,
we decided to mandate that the definitions come after the
things-they-shadow. It used to be possible to mix them freely and it was
confusing to see a definition _before_ a 'use' still shadowing it.
(People have spatial / order intuitions about shadowing, when it exists)
