A _path_ is a sequence of one or more path components _logically_ separated by
a namespace qualifier (`::`). If a path consists of only one component, it may
refer to either an [item](#items) or a [variable](#variables) in a local control

scope. If a path has multiple components, it refers to an item.

Every item has a _canonical path_ within its crate, but the path naming an item

crates; an item's canonical path merely identifies it within the crate.
