My beginners understanding is that all imported types, functions, and
classes must have either a unique signature or use qualified names such as;

Data.List.sum [1,2,3]


Question 1) How do *values* come into namespace issues?
Question 2) Is the same dot notation used for types and classes?
Question 3) Instances are not named so can they be imported?
