-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
It seems that the `No module named ... is imported` message produced in
response to out-of-scope identifiers doesn't account for qualified
imports. For instance,
{{{
$ ghci
GHCi, version 8.2.1: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help
Loaded GHCi configuration from /home/ben/.ghci
λ> import qualified Data.Maybe as M
λ> M.fromJusr
<interactive>:2:1: error:
Not in scope: ‘M.fromJusr’
Perhaps you meant ‘M.fromJust’ (imported from Data.Maybe)
No module named ‘M’ is imported.
λ>
}}}
I suppose there is the question of whether we consider `M` to be a
"module" here; I would argue that I imported it and therefore the message
is at very least a bit misleading.
