This changed in the revised version of Haskell 98. I hadn't noticed, hence GHC was still parsing the old H98 syntax. The change dates back to November 2001, and is listed on Simon's Errata page, here: http://research.microsoft.com/Users/simonpj/haskell98-revised/haskell98- bugs.html Cheers, Simon _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-bugs
