 In the following code GHC claims the first import is redundant.

 {{{
 import Data.Map (Map)

 import qualified Data.Map as M

 type MT = Map
 }}}

 {{{
 test.hs:5:1: warning: [-Wunused-imports]
     The qualified import of `Data.Map' is redundant
       except perhaps to import instances from `Data.Map'
     To import instances alone, use: import Data.Map()
   |
 5 | import qualified Data.Map as M
 }}}

 Reproduceable on 8.4 and HEAD at least.
