Another BIG reason: It's impossible to export a whole hierarchy qualified. I.e it would be neat if the user could write: import Graphics.UI.Gtk And then have Gtk re-export sub-modules qualified, so you could write "Button.new", "Window.new" etc. etc. As it stands you have two options: prefix all the "new" functions with the kind of widget they create (buttonNew, windowNew), or force the user to add a gazillion qualified imports.
The problem would be again that no one knows, where "Window" comes from. Better would be
import Graphics.UI.Gtk (Window, Button, ) Don't know if this extension would be worth the trouble. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
