Comment (by cipher1024):

 Yes, I believe that would do the trick nicely. Instead of a Maybe String,
 you could have a String stand for the synonym. Whenever the import is not
 renamed, it would hold the exact name of the imported module.

 After thinking some more about your proposal, I'm really liking the list
 of names. That should simplify my design significantly.

 How hard do you think it will be to implement?

 Thanks!
