Comment (by SamB):

 Well, I was thinking that it would be nice to be able to specify a
 "cononical module" for a name, which might or might not correspond with
 where the Haddock documentation appears. I have no problem with needing to
 add a bunch of "import qualified"s in order to use Derive by non-TH means
 -- it seems better than having to guess at what modules to import, and
 having to worry about name clashes, as is currently necessary. And maybe
 UArray wasn't a good example ;-).
