i would like to propose that by default, the qualified names introduced by an import are just the last part of the module name, and not the entire module name.
When originally proposing the hierarchical module namespace, I recognised this potential annoyance, and came up with the same solution as you, although I framed it as an optional extra in case people were not immediately convinced of the need. nhc98 implements it. Having said that, I don't use qualified naming very often myself, so I don't recall ever taking advantage of the feature.
i also speculate that such a change should be relatively easy to implement.
It is pretty easy, yes. Regards, Malcolm
