Hi all,
I found the following message in the mailing list archive:

Is somebody working or planning to work on that?

It would be really useful for packages like numeric-prelude that use C
for the main class and T for the
main type in a module intended for qualified import. Also, it would
help in case a module was imported
qualified because of name clashes. Atm, those name clashes still exist
in the haddock output.
