constructor name clashes

[Ben_Yu at asc.aon.com]

Hi, all.

I'm a newbie to Haskell so please bear with me if my questions sound silly.

In coding Haskell, I feel very inconvenient that the name of data
constructors for different types have to be different.

Also, when declaring named fields of a type, such as
data Data1 = Data1{ok1::Bool}
data Data2 = Data2{ok2::Bool}
the field names for different type also have to be unique.

Isn't that annoying? Keeping all the names unique is no easy task in my
opinion. Wouldn't it be nice if we can have something similar to structure
fields in C? Or maybe this is already present and I'm just being ignorant?

I know that we can use modules to introduce name spaces. But still, this is
quite cumbersome.

Thanks!

Ben.
