Note that rust-analyzer could choose to load un-`mod`-ed files with no change to the language. At a minimum, this could be an off-by-default configuration. Ideally, it would suppress errors caused by these extra files, and downgrade errors caused by missing `mod` declarations to warnings, with a quick-fix to add the declaration. > They can just stash the file as well.
