The tracking issue for this feature is: #44494

The use_nested_groups feature allows you to import multiple items from a complex module tree easily, by nesting different imports in the same declaration. For example:

#![feature(use_nested_groups)]
# #![allow(unused_imports, dead_code)]
#
# mod foo {
#     pub mod bar {
#         pub type Foo = ();
#     }
#     pub mod baz {
#         pub mod quux {
#             pub type Bar = ();
#         }
#     }
# }

use foo::{
    bar::{self, Foo},
    baz::{*, quux::Bar},
};
#
# fn main() {}

When stabilizing, add this to src/doc/book/second-edition/src/appendix-07-newest-features.md:

If you have a complex module tree with many different submodules and you need to import a few items from each one, it might be useful to group all the imports in the same declaration to keep your code clean and avoid repeating the base modules' name.

The use declaration supports nesting to help you in those cases, both with simple imports and glob ones. For example this snippets imports bar, Foo, all the items in baz and Bar:

# #![feature(use_nested_groups)]
# #![allow(unused_imports, dead_code)]
#
# mod foo {
#     pub mod bar {
#         pub type Foo = ();
#     }
#     pub mod baz {
#         pub mod quux {
#             pub type Bar = ();
#         }
#     }
# }
#
use foo::{
    bar::{self, Foo},
    baz::{*, quux::Bar},
};
#
# fn main() {}

When stabilizing, replace the shortcut list in src/doc/reference/src/items/use-declarations.md with this updated one:

• Simultaneously binding a list of paths with a common prefix, using the glob-like brace syntax use a::b::{c, d, e::f, g::h::i};
• Simultaneously binding a list of paths with a common prefix and their common parent module, using the self keyword, such as use a::b::{self, c, d::e};
• Rebinding the target name as a new local name, using the syntax use p::q::r as x;. This can also be used with the last two features: use a::b::{self as ab, c as abc}.
• Binding all paths matching a given prefix, using the asterisk wildcard syntax use a::b::*;.
• Nesting groups of the previous features multiple times, such as use a::b::{self as ab, c d::{*, e::f}};
