Summary: Rebindable syntax doesn't work as advertised
Initial Comment:
--
-- According to section 7.3.5. Rebindable syntax in the
user's manual
-- this should work (unless I totally misunderstood it).
-- It doesn't.
--
-- Compile with -fno-implicit-prelude

This is a bug, and I plan to fix it.
To date I only knew of a couple of people who cared (Amr
Sabry, Arthur van Leeuwen, perhpas Ashley Yakely). This
makes one more. Can you say a bit more about why it'd be
useful to you. To help motivate me...
This won't be in 6.4, but I will do it, esp if more people yell.

I would much prefer if the implementation had changed to
match the documentation. :)

The documentation was wrong - it now says that >>= etc have
to be polymorphic.
