import prefers module in package over local module

[Simon Marlow]

I'm afraid I don't understand: there's no Pretty module in the standard 
libraries, only Text.PrettyPrint.

Could you describe in more detail what's going wrong?  (provide example 
code and exact command lines, cut & paste error messages).

Cheers,
	Simon
