Wrong error message when calling static method using dot notation

[defyrlt]

Playpen. For some reasons I wasn't able to get this error message when struct is in the same crate.

extern crate rustc;

use rustc::middle::ty::MethodCall;

fn main() {
    let mc = MethodCall.expr(); // ERROR: unresolved name `MethodCall` [E0425]
    // let mc = MethodCall; // same error here
}

Here's the error message I get when struct is in the same crate

<anon>:10:13: 10:16 error: `Foo` is the name of a struct or struct variant, but this expression uses it like a function name [E0423]

I think it should be raised in the case with crate too.

This appears to be fixed (in nightly at least):

z.rs:6:14: 6:24 error: `MethodCall` is the name of a struct or struct variant, but this expression uses it like a function name [E0423]
z.rs:6     let mc = MethodCall.expr(); // ERROR: unresolved name `MethodCall` [E0425]
                    ^~~~~~~~~~
z.rs:6:14: 6:24 help: run `rustc --explain E0423` to see a detailed explanation
z.rs:6:14: 6:24 help: did you mean to write: `MethodCall { /* fields */ }`?

I believe the error message today indicates the problem fairly well, though it could show the Foo::foo form, so not closing.

struct Foo;

impl Foo {
    fn foo() {
    }
}

fn bar() {
    Foo.foo();
}

error[E0599]: no method named `foo` found for type `Foo` in the current scope
 --> test.rs:9:9

  = note: found the following associated functions; to be used as methods, functions must have a `self` parameter
