Not possible with GHC, I'm afraid. At least, not at the moment. We
would have to retain a strong separation between Data.FiniteMap and
Prelude, such as you would do if the Prelude were dynamically linked,
and GHC doesn't do that.
Indeed, doing so would probably have a significant impact on
performance, because the compiler wouldn't be able to take advantage of
any knowledge about the Prelude except for the types of functions when
compiling Data.FiniteMap.
Cheers,
Simon
