Comment (by guest):
Replying to [comment:11 igloo]:
> I think they (and (,,,)) should be left unqualified.
Seems reasonable. They can't be defined in standard Haskell 98, right?
Thus, they cannot cause any conflict with user-defined types anyway.
> You aren't allowed to qualify [], -> or (,,,) according to the Haskell
98 report.
True. However, GHC already allows to use tuples and (->) in an unqualified
way.
