Re: parameterisable modules, the lack thereof ...

[Stephen J Bevan]

   Everyone now acknowledges that Haskell's modules are the weakest part
   of the language, and people are working on ways to fix that (yes,
   someday I hope there will be a Haskell 2).

Are any details available as to what directions this work is taking?
I'm aware of of some work to extend type classes but I'm more
interested in any approaches which don't necessarily require
overloading (my candidate for the weakest part of the language btw).
