If other choices lead to potential clashes, then it sounds like a good enough
reason to me. Org.Haskell also has the advantage of being the obvious place to
locate stuff which is produced by The Haskell Organization. If the length is a
problem, how about amortizing it with some syntax to factor out prefixes, e.g.:

  import Org.Haskell(module Prelude, module IO, module Array)

Or is this already allowed? Sorry if I'm not up-to-date on the current import
syntax... BTW, please add a link in

  http://www.haskell.org/~simonmar/libraries/libraries.html

to the current form of the "modest language extension" proposal mentioned in
the Introduction. Is it still:

?
