Comment:
Interesting. It turns out I misinterpreted the Haskell lexical syntax:
GHC lexes `M.default` as `M` `.` `default`, because `M.default` is not a
valid qvarid but I neglected to take into account the maximal munch rule.
We have an open ticket for Haskell' about this:
[http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/haskell-
prime/trac.cgi/wiki/QualifiedIdentifiers], which was until just now
inaccurate (I've now fixed it). I propose to fix GHC in 6.8 to match the
Haskell' proposal.
