I think the `RdrName`s generated by `newName` are `Exact`, right? Not `Unqual`. Maybe the renamer should not complain about collisions between `Exact` top-level names.
No, they are unqualified. See https://git.haskell.org/ghc.git/blob/791947db6db32ef7d4772a821a0823e558e3c05... -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13054#comment:11 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
