import Module qualified as

[Christian Maeder]

Hi,

my import lists would look much nicer und could be sorted more easily
if the keyword "qualified" could be placed before the "as" keyword 
instead of after "import".

Therefore I suggest the alternative syntax:

  import Data.Map qualified as Map

This should be fairly simple to implement, if more users would want it.

Note, that this syntax does not work well without "as" since a list of 
names to be imported usually follows the module name. Also, usually 
qualified imports are used together with "as" to avoid the long module 
names.

Apart from sorting it would also avoid quirks like _eleven_ spaces in:

import qualified Data.Map as Map
import           Data.Map (Map)

Cheers Christian
