## Overview
Guide `use` statements for ergonomic imports and re-exports.
## Quick Use

- Show idiomatic imports for functions (parent module) and types (full path).
- Use `as` for name conflicts.
## Response Checklist
- Place `use` at the top of the module where it is needed.
- Use grouped imports with braces when bringing in multiple items.
- Use `pub use` to re-export items from a module.
## Example Requests
- "How do I shorten this long module path?"
