Re: [Haskell-cafe] Imports at bottom, why not?

So, why not issue import statements at the bottom of a module file?

The first technical problem I see is that a compiler can't easily generate a dependency graph without first parsing the whole module. In contrast, current Haskell forbids anything but a module header, some pragmas and an import list to start any module.
