Suppose you are writing a module that uses only flonum arithmetic. Which is worse, a little bit of messiness in import, or constantly using fl+, fl-, fl*, fl/, etc. etc. etc.? Since there is no option for deprefixing names when they are imported, I'd rather be able to call addition and subtraction by their normal names.
