Basically what I want is an extension which allows me to write:

import Graphics.UI.Gtk and then use ... Button.label ...

There seems to be a suggestion already which would solve this: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/haskell-prime/wiki/ModuleSystem

Basically put: qualified module GTK.Button as Button

In the export list.

Yes this was one of the semi-formal proposals that got suggested. I'm not sure we came to a final conclusion about what the extension exactly meant. It would definitely be a good place to start the discussion in the context of the Haskell' process. Duncan
