Implicit parameters at the same scope in other files

Question

Reviewing implicit parameters (and conversions) precedence rules at http://docs.scala-lang.org/tutorials/FAQ/finding-implicits.html I found the following priority list:

1. First look in current scope
2. Implicits defined in current scope
3. Explicit imports
4. wildcard imports
5. Same scope in other files
6. ...

I wonder why Same scope in other files is crossed out. Is it a pending to implement feature? Has it been removed for some reason? My so far experience shows that the feature isn't available but I'd like to know why is it listed.

Answer 1

If you look below, you can see:

Same Scope in Other Files Edit: It seems this does not have a different precedence. If you have some example that demonstrates a precedence distinction, please make a comment. Otherwise, don’t rely on this one. This is like the first example, but assuming the implicit definition is in a different file than its usage. See also how package objects might be used in to bring in implicits.
