Maybe I'm missing something, what's wrong with putting the standard stuff under Org.Haskell? For example:
Org.Haskell.Prelude Org.Haskell.IO
No problem, just that the names tend to get a little long. It makes sense to keep things as flat as possible unless there is a real reason not to do so.
If other choices lead to potential clashes, then it sounds like a good enough reason to me. Org.Haskell also has the advantage of being the obvious place to locate stuff which is produced by The Haskell Organization. If the length is a problem, how about amortizing it with some syntax to factor out prefixes, e.g.: import Org.Haskell(module Prelude, module IO, module Array) Or is this already allowed? Sorry if I'm not up-to-date on the current import syntax... BTW, please add a link in http://www.haskell.org/~simonmar/libraries/libraries.html to the current form of the "modest language extension" proposal mentioned in the Introduction.
