Re: [Haskell-cafe] Are explicit exports and local imports desirable in a production application?

But I agree that explicit exports are flawed, because the vast majority of "stuff" is usually exported. A better way might be to export everything except explicitly hidden stuff. That's not possible right now (I think), but imagine syntax like this:

    module Foo (..) hiding ( bar, baz ) where

or

    module Foo (module Foo hiding ( bar, baz )) where

In Oberon you do not specify an export list, instead you mark exported identifiers with a star. This way you avoid duplication of identifiers in the export list and the identifier order is always the order of definitions in the module.
