Can't directly access nested records from another module

[Ryan1729]

Given the following files:

Main.elm

module Main (..) where

import Graphics.Element exposing (..)
import A


main : Element
main =
  show A.b.c

A.elm

module A (..) where


b =
  { c = "123" }

I get the following error

Detected errors in 1 module.
-- NAMING ERROR ------------------------------------------------------- Main.elm

Cannot find variable `A.b.c`.

9│   show A.b.c
            ^^^
The qualifier `A.b` is not in scope. Maybe you want one of the following?

    A.c

Changing it to A.b shows the whole record { c = "123" } as expected.
If I give A.b another name, say d = A.b then d.b gives the expected output, so I can use that as a workaround but not being able to access the record's value was unexpected.

Running 0.16.0 through elm reactor.

Thanks for the report. It's not a core issue, but an elm-compiler issue. And it's already tracked there: elm/compiler#520

So I'm closing this issue here.
