Aliasing current module qualifier

[John Meacham]

You don't need a new language construct, what i do is:

     module AnnoyinglyLongModuleName (M.length, M.null) where

    import AnnoyinglongLongModuleName as M

I think ghc would need to be extended a little to make this convienient as
it doesn't handle recursive module imports as transparently.
