I'm not complaining, and I'm not sure what I mean :) I may like a scheme
where functions operating on a type or type class live in a module
seperate from the type (class) definition, so you could import a
specific module to get only, say, (Ring, (*), one, ...).  But that would
be too tedious in the Haskell hierarchical module system, which is why I
was asking about others.

I'm ready to believe you that the naming style you chose is optimal
within the hierarchical module system.
