If you have module a, and import something non existent from module b:
```
module a;
import b : nonexistent;
```
```
module b;
import a;
```
The error message is:
```
a.d(3): Error: module `b` import `nonexistent` not found, did you mean alias `a.nonexistent`?
```
It's suggesting the very alias that the error is about, which obviously won't work.
