Hi.
Haskell 98 allows import alias:
     import qualified VeryLongModuleName as C
however it does not allow aliasing for imported names
     import NormalModule (veryLongFunctionName as C)
what is the rational?
IMHO this can be very useful in some cases.
You can always do

{-# INLINE short #-}
short = 
C.veryLongFunctionNameThatIReallyDoNotWantToTypeOutEveryTimeIUseIt

so it's not necessary.

Thanks  Manlio
