Why do you want the 'where' there?

Because the module definition syntax is "module Foo[(exports]
where"... technically, it's not necessary, but it's nice.
Right - I missed the 'module' and just read it as an import
statement.  Clearly your proposal here goes beyond mine, what are the
advantages? I.e, what's the rationale for syntactical changes instead
of
module Foo where
	[...]

import Foo

just doesn't look elegant to my eyes so I'd like to have it in one
statement, that's all.
