Please mind the "style warning" http://haskell.org/pipermail/haskell/2001-February/000473.html
MArray -- (opt) IOArray -- mutable arrays in the IO/ST monads
MArray looks cryptic. Why not Array.Mutable, and similar. There are a few more places where this applies.
Of course this is rather irrelevant to the layout discussion now. But perhaps not, since it's the question of introducing small sub-modules, or using name prefixes.
Good point. However, this scheme is following another style guideline, which is that the module name follows the type name, when the module defines a type. Perhaps the MArray type should also be renamed to Mutable (i.e. Haskell.Lang.Array.Mutable qualified), but this doesn't look as nice. Cheers, Simon
