There's a little bit of bikeshedding that needs to happen (e.g. is "hiding (Foo (..))" sufficient to hide the type Foo and not just its constructors), but are people +1 on this? I've frequently wanted this behavior.
I would be surprised if 'Foo(..)' would mean in this case something different, so yes, the type Foo should be hidden too.
One related question: how would you export only the type if you have newtype Foo = Foo ... which is a pretty common pattern? Since "hiding (Foo(Foo))" would also hide the type, I don't see many options, which is unfortunate. In general, I'm +1 on the proposal. Erik
