It seems that the qualified import syntax is a bit awkward. At the
moment, its common to see:
import qualified Data.Map as M
import Data.Map(Map)
i.e. import a module, give it an alias (M), and put some things in the
current namespace (Map).
Incidentally, I sometimes find myself writing this:

  import Data.Map (Map) ; import qualified Data.Map as M

It's not perfect, but at least it lines up with my other imports a
little better.
