Shorter import syntax
It would be helpful to support a short syntax for importing unqualified identifiers while establishing a short qualified name. An example of the proposed syntax is,
import Data.Map (Map) as MThe desired semantics are that Map be imported unqualified, and M be defined as an alias for Data.Map. This replaces the existing convention of writing,
import Data.Map (Map)
import qualified Data.Map as MThe proposed syntax is currently an error, I think, so adding support for it should not break anything.
