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 ? But you risk breaking packages when new qualifiers are added to imported modules.
foo :: Map k a -- accepted with out qualifier 'Map' -- because it's unambiguous
bar m = map show m -- defaults to Data.List.map , -- 'Map' prefix would be need in -- cases of ambiguity
The idea being that names only need to be qualified when they are ambiguous, which Map and ByteString are not.
