#2362: allow full import syntax in GHCi

--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
for example, GHCi currently allows "`import Data.Map`" but not "`import
Data.Map as Map`" or (to demonstrate a fuller range of import syntax)
"`import qualified Prelude as P hiding (mplus)`". (In GHCi, you'd
probably only be interested in hiding/qualifying something like Data.Map
that made it harder for you to use Prelude functions due to actual
ambiguity -- or vice versa)
see http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.cafe/41272
(P.S. I would also like everything in a module, such as `data`
declarations, to work in GHCi also, but I suspect that's a more
complicated feature request?)
