2. It's the default. You have to add "qualified" to all your imports to make them qualified. In most language imports are qualified by default. I think the latter would have been a better choice but we have to live with the current design so bite the bullet and add those qualified keywords to your imports.
If you leave out “qualified”, you still get the qualified names imported. And if you use conflicting identifiers always qualified then there’s no problem. For example, you can use import Data.Set as Set import Data.List as List and then just say Set.null or List.null.

Whenever you write a library design it so it works well with qualified imports. That means leaving namespacing issues to the module system. Try to think of how code using your functions will look like if it uses them qualified.
I totally agree.
