scala.* symbol precedes conflicting root package name

[olafurpg]

This behavior may be intentional but I could not find a reference to it in the docs.

package io.grpc {
  trait Grpc
}
package bar {
  import io.grpc.Grpc
  object a extends Grpc
}

Dotty reports the following error

-- [E008] Member Not Found Error: grpc.scala:6:12 ------------------------------
6 |  import io.grpc.Grpc
  |         ^^^^^^^
  |         value `grpc` is not a member of io

one error found

while scalac reports no error.

A workaround for error is to prefix the import: import _root_.io.grpc.

Given the recent popularity of *.io domains, a few popular Scala libraries libraries now use io as their root package. For example, Circe (https://circe.github.io/circe/) and Quill (http://getquill.io/).
