+# `crate_in_paths`
+
+The tracking issue for this feature is: [#44660]
+
+[#44660]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/44660
+
+------------------------
+
+The `crate_in_paths` feature allows to explicitly refer to the crate root in absolute paths
+using keyword `crate`.
+
+`crate` can be used *only* in absolute paths, i.e. either in `::crate::a::b::c` form or in `use`
+items where the starting `::` is added implicitly.  
+Paths like `crate::a::b::c` are not accepted currently.
+
+This feature is required in `feature(extern_absolute_paths)` mode to refer to any absolute path
+in the local crate (absolute paths refer to extern crates by default in that mode), but can be
+used without `feature(extern_absolute_paths)` as well.
+
+```rust
+#![feature(crate_in_paths)]
+
+// Imports, `::` is added implicitly
+use crate::m::f;
+use crate as root;
+
+mod m {
+    pub fn f() -> u8 { 1 }
+    pub fn g() -> u8 { 2 }
+    pub fn h() -> u8 { 3 }
+
+    // OK, visibilities implicitly add starting `::` as well, like imports
+    pub(in crate::m) struct S;
+}
+
+mod n
+{
+    use crate::m::f;
+    use crate as root;
+    pub fn check() {
+        assert_eq!(f(), 1);
+        // `::` is required in non-import paths
+        assert_eq!(::crate::m::g(), 2);
+        assert_eq!(root::m::h(), 3);
+    }
+}
+
+fn main() {
+    assert_eq!(f(), 1);
+    assert_eq!(::crate::m::g(), 2);
+    assert_eq!(root::m::h(), 3);
+    n::check();
+}
+```

+# `extern_absolute_paths`
+
+The tracking issue for this feature is: [#44660]
+
+[#44660]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/44660
+
+------------------------
+
+The `extern_absolute_paths` feature enables mode allowing to refer to names from other crates
+"inline", without introducing `extern crate` items, using absolute paths like `::my_crate::a::b`.
+
+`::my_crate::a::b` will resolve to path `a::b` in crate `my_crate`.
+
+`feature(crate_in_paths)` can be used in `feature(extern_absolute_paths)` mode for referring
+to absolute paths in the local crate (`::crate::a::b`).
+
+`feature(extern_in_paths)` provides the same effect by using keyword `extern` to refer to
+paths from other crates (`extern::my_crate::a::b`).
+
+```rust,ignore
+#![feature(extern_absolute_paths)]
+
+// Suppose we have a dependency crate `xcrate` available through `Cargo.toml`, or `--extern`
+// options, or standard Rust distribution, or some other means.
+
+use xcrate::Z;
+
+fn f() {
+    use xcrate;
+    use xcrate as ycrate;
+    let s = xcrate::S;
+    assert_eq!(format!("{:?}", s), "S");
+    let z = ycrate::Z;
+    assert_eq!(format!("{:?}", z), "Z");
+}
+
+fn main() {
+    let s = ::xcrate::S;
+    assert_eq!(format!("{:?}", s), "S");
+    let z = Z;
+    assert_eq!(format!("{:?}", z), "Z");
+}
+```
