+Something other than a module was found in visibility scope.

+Erroneous code example:

+```compile_fail,E0577,edition2018
+pub struct Sea;
+
+pub (in crate::Sea) struct Shark; // error!
+
+fn main() {}

+
+`Sea` is not a module, therefore it is invalid to use it in a visibility path.
+To fix this error we need to ensure `Sea` is a module.
+
+Please note that the visibility scope can only be applied on ancestors!
