Hello,

Why exporting a function doesn't force you to make its inputs derive a 
typeclass? That would solve all name clashing (just derive also or give 
different name,  because it is obviously too generic). 

Why can't you overload field accessor via typeclass easily? 
data Foo = Foo {HasSize => size :: Int} 
> :t size
HasSize a => size a -> Int

Why is String not deprecated yet,  throwing warning into your face. 

I think that haskell is really missing some uniformity, there is nothing like 
AbstractString and AbstractArray (something like java Collections) so a lot of 
modules introduces its own functions that are just aliases for others.  (Even 
Prelude itself suffers from this - map fmap liftM, pure return...). 

King regards!
