I much prefer a syntax with a bit more words, like this one. The original proposal is simply impossible to understand without reading a manual. It has at least two equally valid interpretations.

Just to be even more explicit, at the cost of a tiny bit more syntax, how about the following proposal? import Data.Map (Map) import qualified Data.Map as M (lengthy,list) Regards, Malcolm
