That's very different since it changes how desugaring works.
With NoImplicitPrelude desugaring uses unqualified names.  It's a rather fragile pragma.

I don't have any opinion on the full proposal yet, but I usually use "{-# LANGUAGE NoImplicitPrelude #-}" when using an alternate prelude.
Is there any different between that and "import Prelude ()"?
