I'll take this as another opportunity to point out that the Haddock
docs
of the Numeric Prelude are highly unreadable, due to all qualified
class
and type names appearing as just C or T.
It's Haddock's fault. :-) I have written a Trac ticket, but
trac.haskell.org does currently not respond.
I may be treading in murky waters here, but I do think a large part of
the problem is that the Numeric Prelude has chosen to use ML naming
conventions (which refer to types in a module as T, etc.) when you're
writing a Haskell program. Surely if the types, classes, and so forth
were given evocative names, numeric prelude programs would become
readable? And as a special bonus, though it may offend your
sensibilities, numeric prelude programs might be able to use
unqualified import in certain circumstances?
