Well, yes, at the beginning I've been also surprised about this. But allowing this seems to be even more error prone, because now you could "bind" function arguments to values by just importing a module. module Foo where n = 10 module Bar where import Foo f n = 42 By constraining this "binding" to only the current module you would just add an other inconsistency.
