Less-than-useful example of using `extern alias`

[RexJaeschke]

As a first-time user of this feature, the example did not help me understand this message! The example makes no attempt to use MyClass. Here's a much clearer version of the code examples:

// CS0430_a.cs  
// compile with: /target:library
public class MyClass
{
    public static void M() { /*...*/ }
}

// CS0430_b.cs  
extern alias MyType;   // CS0430  
public class Test
{
    public static void Main() { MyType::MyClass.M(); }
}

It likely will be useful to also add something like this to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/keywords/extern-alias, which doesn't quite complete the picture.
