I've frequently wanted this behavior. PS: As for semantics, I'd suggest to have module Foo hiding (Lockbox(MkLockbox), internalFunction) where the same effect moving the definitions of `Foo` into an hidden/internal module `_Foo` and having `Foo` re-export it in the following way: module Foo (module _Foo) where import _Foo hiding (Lockbox(MkLockbox), internalFunction) that should result the least surprise IMHO Cheers, hvr _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list Glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
