Comment (by simonpj):

 @acowley, is there a ''specification'' somewhere that I can read?  I'm
 sorry if I missed it.

 To be concrete, what new wording would be needed in the
 [https://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/haskell2010/haskellch5.html#x11-1000005.2
 Export lists] and
 [https://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/haskell2010/haskellch5.html#x11-1010005.3
 Import declarations] sections of the language definition?

 thanks

 Simon
