Are all extensions from all modules exported on mass?

Hi,

If I have the *same* extension in two *different* modules, ModuleA and
ModuleB, and ModuleC uses both modules, but in *seperate* files, then there
is still ambiguity about which extension to call:

ModuleA

A.swift

public protocol P {

func m() -> String

}

extension Int: P {

public func m() -> String { return "AP.m" }

}

ModuleB

B.swift

public protocol P {

func m() -> String

}
extension Int: P {

public func m() -> String { return "BP.m" }

}

ModuleC

A.swift

import ModuleA

func am(_ i: Int) -> String { return i.m() }

B.swift

import ModuleB

func bm(_ i: Int) -> String { return i.m() }

main.swift

let i = 0

print(am(i))
print(bm(i))

Gives the following errors when built:

Is this the expected behaviour or a bug?

Thanks in advance for any help,

It's a longstanding bug, but a bug we can't fix easily, and one whose fix would probably break user code. It's tracked by SR-3908 <https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-3908&gt;\. (The description's a little different but it's the same underlying issue.)
