Hi Stephan,

Option (1) was only meant as a temporary solution for Cetin. It just occurred 
that the obvious solution to make both QC1 and QC2 users happy is to have an 
explicit import list rather than hiding (><) (there are no further problems with 
QC2). I'll do this until QC2 is standard in GHC.
