Hello Aditya,

you could write a script to generate a starter file for yourself. I do something like that with my own latex documents. Or have your own special module that reexports all of those that you import for you own projects. Its very easy to write your own module that reExports other modules. try it out. many libraries that you use, such as containers, do that

theres enough variety and complexity to nontrivial projects that such a "enforced import" would end badly

Hi there,
It seems like every Haskell program I write imports the following modules:

Control.Monad
Control.Applicative
Data.Maybe
Data.List

Is there a good reason why these modules aren't imported by default? When I write a simple script usually a 1/4th of the script is just imports, and my code just looks uglier.
