Now, do I really want to be forced to write Some.Very.Long.Module.Name.map on the right-hand-side of the defn of foo? There is no easy way currently for me to create a short synonym for the defining module name. e.g.

import Some.Very.Long.Module.Name as Local

At least, such a recursive module import would be possible, but tricky to set up and maintain when the module changes over time.

I'ld rather suggest a (small) language extension: "module" modid ["as" modid] [exports] "where" body Christian
