Two of the changes to Export Decls (Section 5.2) now conflict with
each other.
[Oct 2001]
"The form `module M' abbreviates the set of all entities whose
unqualified name, e, is in scope, and for which the qualified
name M.e is also in scope and refers to the same entity as e."
[Sept 2001]
"For example
module A ( module B, C.f, g ) where -- an invalid module
import qualified B(f,g)
import qualified C(f)
g = True
There are name clashes in the export list between B.f and C.f and between
g and B.g even though there are no name clashes within module A."
The latter example is now in fact a perfectly valid module, since
there is no unqualified entity f in scope, and g and B.g do not refer
to the same entity.
