 For the sake of testing, I would like to import everything from a module
 that I test, not only the things it exports.
 {{{#!hs
 friend import A                  -- everything from A
 friend import B (notExported)    -- notExported from B
 friend import qualified C.D as E -- you guess it
 ...
 }}}
 Current work arounds:
 * Give up on export lists (ruins haddockumentation)
 * Extra levels of indirection, see
