Hi Paulo, You are teasing me ;^) So what is the "semantics" of "import qualified Blah"? Regards, Vasili On Sat, May 23, 2009 at 12:47 AM, Paulo Tanimoto wrote:

Hello,

I am working with some somewhat legacy code. I understand what "import qualified Blah as B" means but what does "import qualified Blah" mean? Is this a deprecated feature? I saw with user defined module as well as with "import qualified System" for example.

REgards,

Vasili

See the report, section 5.3.2: http://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/modules.html

Because we tend to have long names now, you will often see people aliasing. But "qualified" by itself has an important role, it's not deprecated.
