Impressive. He thought of a whole bunch of stuff I hadn't thought of.

While I'm here - I'm aware of how you control importing [or not] from 
the Prelude. Is there a way that I can, for example, import all the 
stuff like the basic types, classes, etc., but *not* all the 
list-related stuff? Or is the Prelude not that modular?
