Simon says that we should just reject the use of explicit namespace qualifiers in the subcomponents of the export item in the parser.
This would work and be a fairly easy change, however I stumled across the following in DynFlags.hs: {{{ -- We turn this on so that we can export associated type -- type synonyms in subordinates (e.g. MyClass(type AssocType)) , (LangExt.TypeFamilies, turnOn, LangExt.ExplicitNamespaces) }}} So for the above they might want to export `Foo (type A)` Does this mean we need something more complicated? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12488#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
