[ghc-steering-committee] Please review #678: Amendment to ImportShadowing

[Arnaud Spiwack]

I find it a little annoying that this isn't backward compatible. But on the
other hand, it's a very obscure bit of Haskell semantics which is modified,
module re-export is something that most people frequently get wrong anyway.
At any rate, my feeling is that the proposed change is the right behaviour:
if a module defines a function `foo`, and exports a *different* function
`foo`, this is at least a smell, isn't it?

So, in favour.
