Description of the problem:
Outdated explanation of ::path in Appendix B: Table B-3
As of the 2018 edition, starting a path with :: refers to the extern prelude, rather than the crate root.
(source: https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/paths.html#path-qualifiers)
Suggested fix: Change explanation to
Path relative to the extern prelude (i.e., an explicitly absolute path)
