[Haskell-cafe] Import hiding module

[Alexey Shmalko]

Hi,

To be short, no, I believe there is no way.

When module A.B is re-exported, in reality it's not module re-exported but
rather all symbols in current scope that were imported from A.B are
exported. Furthermore, there is no way to know whether module is defined in
a given module or just re-exported; and no way to know module it was
re-exported from. This is kind of abstraction that gives some freedom to
alter library internals without altering external interface.

Best regards,
Alexey Shmalko
