Rustc suggests creating a Box<Box<Box<(...)File>>> when std::io::Write isn't imported #84792
Description
Given the following code:
play.rust-lang.org: https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2018&gist=320bd0fa60b7736e04ac82df5a77c760
It isn't able to run in the online thing, but the rest of the code is at https://github.com/C34A/vm1/blob/files/src/main.rs
let mut output_file = fs::File::create(newfilename).expect("failed to create output file");
output_file.write_all(&binary).expect("failed to write to output file!");The current output is:
error[E0599]: no method named `write_all` found for struct `File` in the current scope
--> src/main.rs:76:41
|
76 | ... output_file.write_all(&binary).expect("failed to write to output file!");
| ^^^^^^^^^ method not found in `File`

Boxing output_file results in:
1438 | fn write_all(&mut self, mut buf: &[u8]) -> Result<()> {
| ---------
| |
| the method is available for `Box<Box<File>>` here
| the method is available for `Box<&mut Box<File>>` here
... and so on.
The issue is that I don't have std::io::Write imported. I'm not sure exactly what the best output would be.
