Hugs deliberately deviates from the report (ie turns
echoing off when running interact) because the report is
clearly broken.
The only reason for including "interact" in the Prelude is so
that you can write:
interact (map toUpper)
and the like. This is only useful if echoing is turned off - so we do.

list as well as the "followups" list?)
