[ghc-steering-committee] #283: Local modules, recommendation: accept

[Spiwack, Arnaud]

Simon (Marlow):

Do I understand correctly that what you are objecting to is the following
syntax in the proposal

   module M where
   import module M where

And would rather have

  qualified module M where
  module M where

To mimic the import declaration behaviour?
