#2490: GHC allows sections with out parenthesis in tuples
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
Reporter: JeremyShaw | Owner:
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: normal | Component: Compiler
Version: 6.8.3 | Severity: normal
Keywords: | Testcase:
Architecture: Unknown | Os: Unknown
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
GHC gladly accepts:
> f x = (`head` x, ())
but the Haskell 98 Report (section 3.5) seems to indicate that additional
parens are required, like this:
> f x = ((`head` x), ())
It's unclear if this is a bug in GHC, an undocumented feature, or valid
H98 if you read the report in just the right way.
Hugs and lambdabot don't like it.
More importantly, the trhsx preprocessor used by HSX/HSP does not like it.
So, we are wondering if we should extend trhsx to allow it, and if so,
what the rules are.
