+## Submodule is loaded in a non-global scope
+
+We recognise submodules as being available as attributes even if they are loaded in a function
+scope. The function might never be executed, which means that the submodule might never be loaded;
+however, we prefer to prioritise avoiding false positives over catching all possible errors here.
