Me too. One thing that makes figuring out a code base hard is when the
code doesn't have explicit imports. Sometimes I can load the code in
GHCi and inspect the symbols manually, sometimes I can't. If the
import list explicitly said where stuff came from I wouldn't have to
deal with this.

Regarding style I've come to believe the best style is one that can be
enforced by your software, whatever it is. I don't want to have to
think about style.
