Note that there are alternative solution for this particular problem. For instance, a version of qualified with different semantics will do; something like this
import Data.List import sometimes qualified Data.Map as Map
Isn't that quite the same as
import Data.Map as Map

Not quite. The intended difference is that ambiguous names default to the module that imports them unqualified. I.e. import Data.List import sometimes qualified Data.Map as Map map -- Data.List.map or Data.Map.map ? will silently default to Data.List.map .
But you risk breaking packages when new qualifiers are added to imported modules.
Yeah, that's kinda unavoidable if you don't want to qualify so many names. Regards, apfelmus -- http://apfelmus.nfshost.com
