(as I say every half year or so) the real problem is that
Haskell "import" is (speaking Ada) "with" and "use" at the same time,
and there is no local "use" in Haskell.

Use whatever names are appropriate in the library,
and don't care too much for complaints from people that have
acquired the ugly habit of importing everything unqualified :-)
