Bug Report

mypy seems to assume that import importlib brings in the relevant submodules (though I can't see anything in typeshed that would indicate this?) even though it does not

importlib.metadata is not implicitly brought in by importlib:

$ python3 -c 'import importlib; importlib.metadata'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: module 'importlib' has no attribute 'metadata'

To Reproduce

import importlib

reveal_type(importlib.metadata)  # expected error but none?

import urllib

reveal_type(urllib.parse)  # similar situation but properly errors!

Expected Behavior

I expect two errors, but I only get one

Actual Behavior

$ mypy t.py
t.py:3: note: Revealed type is "types.ModuleType"
t.py:7: error: Module has no attribute "parse"  [attr-defined]
t.py:7: note: Revealed type is "Any"
Found 1 error in 1 file (checked 1 source file)
