    Now you can say
      
      import "network" Network.Socket
    
    and get Network.Socket from package "network", even if there are
    multiple Network.Socket modules in scope from different packages
    and/or the current package.
    
    This is not really intended for general use, it's mainly so that we
    can build backwards-compatible versions of packages, where we need to
    be able to do
    
    module GHC.Base (module New.GHC.Base) where
    import "base" GHC.Base as New.GHC.Base
