 Reproduction:
 {{{
 module Log where

 import Prelude hiding (log)

 f :: ()
 f = log where log = ()
 }}}

 Compiling this with -Wall On GHC 7.8.2:
 {{{
 > ghc Log.hs -Wall
 [1 of 1] Compiling Log              ( Log.hs, Log.o )

 Log.hs:3:1: Warning:
     The import of ‘Prelude’ is redundant
       except perhaps to import instances from ‘Prelude’
     To import instances alone, use: import Prelude()
 }}}

 The suggestion is incorrect since removing the import statement gives the
 following warning:

 {{{
 Log.hs:4:15: Warning:
     This binding for ‘log’ shadows the existing binding
       imported from ‘Prelude’ at Log.hs:1:8-10
       (and originally defined in ‘GHC.Float’)
 }}}

 On GHC 7.6.3 the Reproduction does not give any warnings (which is
 correct).
