Indeed. While I generally like the overloaded, qualified names, I
find it annoying when, like 'map', they clash with Prelude imports.
Which means that, in a module using Data.Set, I must either use it all
qualified, or import it twice (qualified and hiding map), or
explicitly import Prelude hiding map. (Better solutions wanted!)
