There is a small problem - you can define type-class instances for
type synonyms in Haskell 98.

What's wrong with this approach, besides being overly verbose:

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

I've seen it used in others' code. The report allows to import
the same module many times:

"A single module may be imported by more than one import declaration."
