Summary:                    Confusing error
Description: 
public module Program
{
    Main() : void
    {
        def xxx = "";
        _ = xxxx.Substring(0);
    }
}

I have the following error message with this code:

test.n:6:13:6:27: error: unbound name `xxxx.Substring'

The problem is I start looking what's wrong with 'Substring' identifier.
Compiler should say "unbound name `xxxx'".

The problem is, it is hard to tell "System.StRing" from "xxxx.Substring".
On the other hand, I think we can collect information about all the
namespaces visible in given place and give information about it.
