Good point!
I didn't implement that special case (which I should have).
A better fix would be to say that "hiding" hides only the unqualified name.
The report is vague on this matter! I'll try to get it clarified.
Meahwhile, you can always add "import qualified Prelude" yourself, as a
workaround.
Thanks

| However, compiling the following program under GHC 2.02 (alpha-dec-osf2)
