+    /// For example, if `foo::*` and `bar::*` were re-exported before `bar::X` was added to the
+    /// re-exports, down stream users could use `this_crate::X` without problems. However, adding
+    /// `bar::X` would cause compilation errors in downstream crates because `X` is defined
+    /// multiple times in the same namespace of `this_crate`.
