Comment:
Thanks for the report; however, this is not a bug.
The [http://haskell.org/onlinereport/derived.html#sect10.4 Haskell Report,
section 10.4] says
{{{
If the constructor is defined using record syntax, the derived Read
will parse only the record-syntax form, and furthermore, the fields
must be given in the same order as the original declaration.
}}}
