Missing warning on duplicate import
The following program does not give a warning:
{-# OPTIONS_GHC -Wall #-}
import Data.List
import Data.List
main :: IO ()
main = print $ sort "hello"
But this program does:
{-# OPTIONS_GHC -Wall #-}
import Data.List(sort)
import Data.List
main :: IO ()
main = print $ sort "hello"
with:
Warning: Redundant import of: `sort'
It is also imported from Data.List at Test.hs:4:0-15
It seems surprising that 100% identical imports aren't given as warnings, as in the first example.
