7.5.1: Ignore single-type-import of only top level, not nested, types in same compilation unit

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
JLS 14 §7.5.1 (https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se14/html/jls-7.html#jls-7.5.1) says:
> If the type imported by the single-type-import declaration is declared in the compilation unit that contains the import declaration, the import declaration is ignored.

However, it appears javac does *not* consistently ignore the import. For example if the import is for a nested type in the same compilation unit and an access to the type exists where that type is not in scope, then javac compiles that without errors, see code below.

Or maybe the JLS is a little bit strict here and should be changed to specify that only the import for the top level type is ignored (though I don't know why someone would import that).
