using a submodule within a module hangs Julia

[stevengj]

module Foo
module Bar
end
using Bar
end

I realize that if you are going to do using Bar, you might arguably not want a module for Bar at all, but at the same time this is not a completely crazy thing to do (e.g. to hide some functions of Bar inside Bar). Hanging Julia does not seem like a great behavior.

(Reproduced in both master and Julia 0.3.x.) Hold on, it just disappeared for me in master, though I can still reproduce it in Julia 0.3.8...

Oh, never mind, I had a file bar.jl in my directory. Damn case-insensitive filesystem. (i.e. a dup of #9007)

Now it just gives a Bar not found error.

Using windows? If Mac, I minimized this sort of problem by making a case-sensitive Julia sparse bundle, added it to my log-in items, and then symlinked /j to /Volumes/Julia. It's also nicer for my Vagrant VMs.
