+// This tests the extra note reported when a type error deals with
+// seemingly identical types.
+// The main use case of this error is when there are two crates
+// (generally different versions of the same crate) with the same name
+// causing a type mismatch.
+
+// The test is nearly the same as the one in
+// compile-fail/type-mismatch-same-crate-name.rs
+// but deals with the case where one of the crates
+// is only introduced as an indirect dependency.
+// and the type is accessed via a reexport.
