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.

It is pretty easy, yes.
