So, we are going to remove the ability of calling functions in a module's dependencies?

No, it is different concept, we only remove the ability to call a module's import function of the sub module through the name of "$sub_module_name$func_name", as it is really tricky and doesn't align with the spec: by the spec we can only invoke the exported function, but obviously "$sub_module_name$func_name" isn't the name of an export function. In fact we are calling an internal imported function of a module which isn't exported, that should not be allowed.

We support the ability to call an export function, which calls the imported function of a sub module, for example, for the wasm module below:

(module
  (import "mB" "B2" (func $B2 (result i32)))
  (func $C4 (type $3)
    (result i32)
    (local $0 i32)
    call $B2
  )
)

We can call "C4" to invoke the function "B2" of module "mB", but cannot call the function with "$mB$B2": B2 isn't exported.

i hope no one is relying on this functionality.
