Just like right now in Haskell'98 with overlapping module renaming.
If a function name f is found in only one of the two libraries, Parse.f
is unambiguous.  If it occurs in both, Parse.f is ambiguous and gives
an error, but only if Parse.f is mentioned in the importing module.
The fully qualified name is unambiguous, and if you really want to be
clear, do your own explicit renaming.
