Types can shadow the module name they're declared in, which breaks the existing type qualification system. Until Swift gains a fully qualified module name syntax, there aren't many good options without splitting the output to directly mirror the source file structure (which would preserve file import namespacing and remove the need for qualification).

This change strips module qualification from type references if a tracked type is found to shadow the module name. Note that untracked symbols like global functions, structs, and enums that shadow the module name aren't handled yet.
