Style Warning!

Why do many people when designing libraries not make full
use of the Haskell module system? Instead of

  writeByte
  readByte

(or so), one could also say:

  Byte.write
  Byte.read

So that the context (Byte.) can be left out when
unambiguous, and one can just say:

  write
  read
