Although that suggests that Sourceview is somehow part of Gtk. Sourceview is going 
to be a separate GHC package, might not always be available and hence the user 
should be made aware that it is not part of Gtk. But maybe that's paranoid.

I guess no usable subset, but if people like to explicitly only import what they 
need, then they could mention the submodules. If that is not possible, we might as 
well keep everything flat and not use the hierarchical modules.
