I'm using parsec3 with the applicative style. Since the functions in Control.Applicative and parsec3 conflicts, I need to use the "hiding" keyword as follows:

       import Control.Applicative hiding (many,optional,(<|>))        import Text.Parsec

There are several reasons to stick to explicit or qualified imports:  http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Import_modules_properly

What that article fails to mention is the inconvenience of using qualified imports in combination with operators.

For infix operators you would use unqualified explicit imports.
