I don't want reminding. I know it isn't abstract, but for the sake of
the importing module I like to pretend it is.
I'm personally not that interested in making things abstract as
defined in the Haskell report, all I want to do is be able to have
exact control over what I import. If I switch between "type" and
"data" and leave the "(..)" on the import I unavoidably import all the
constructors, some of which I may not want.
