Hmmmm, do you mean that you don't want to put all your `extern crate` statements in the root of your library? If you do that, you don't have to have the `self` when you use items from the crate within your modules. I've never wanted to put my `extern crate` statements within a module rather than the library crate root; can you elaborate on why you want to do that?
