I find this quite convincing. If I bother to explicitly write out „take
putStrLn from Data.Text.Lazy.IO“, why should the compiler assume that I
might have meant some putStrLn from somewhere else.

Of course, order should not matter (I don’t think anyone suggested it
should, I think Austin simply mis-read that).

Greetings,
Joachim
