I'll try to summarize the two negative votes: 1) This isn't that big a burden, and we should instead focus on controlled export of class instances; and 2) We should instead focus on exporting name spaces, and that the ordering of parentheses and the "as" keyword is too close to the existing "import Foo as F(foo)" syntax.
Hello, You counted me as -1, but I'm not against the proposal. I just expressed my concerns in the my comment on Trac. Actually I'd prefer "import Foo as F(foo)" to import "foo" qualified. Too often I write such import by mistake (missing "qualified"), and get compilation error later. Unfortunately it will break code. Thanks, Yuras.
Since there are these negative votes, I think it best if as many people as possible at least see the proposal so the GHC developers can get a better sense for the overall response.
