[Haskell-cafe] Splitting Hackage Packages and re-exporting entire modules (with same module name)

[Antoine Latter]

If you give the module a new name in the new package then the old
module can re-export all of the symbols in the new module.

In GHC I don't think there is a way for two packages to export the
same module and have them be recognized as the same thing, as far as I
know.
