Changes (by simonpj):
* milestone: 6.10 branch => 6.12 branch
Comment:
I'm not sure what the resolution is here.
* Hugs and GHC produce different output, but both are legal.
* Which output you like is something of a matter of taste. My own taste
prefers GHC's output.
* If there was a strong lobby in favour of matching output, then we could
change GHC or change Hugs.
This isn't a terribly big deal, and the easiest thing to do is, well,
nothing. So if you want a change, can you lead a discussion that converges
on a particular course of action? Meanwhile, I'll move this off the 6.10
branch. But if the discussion converges quickly we can easily put it in
6.10.
