+## Attempting to import a stdlib submodule when both parts haven't yet been added
+
+`compression` and `compression.zstd` were both added in 3.14 so there is a typeshed `VERSIONS` entry
+for `compression` but not `compression.zstd`. We can't be confident `compression.zstd` exists but we
+do know `compression` does and can still give good diagnostics about it.
