Comment:
I think the pragma only refers to the code in the file and not to what you
write in the ghci prompt. You can use `-XOverloadedStrings` to make it
work:
{{{
> ghci -XOverloadedStrings Test.hs
GHCi, version 7.2.2: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help
Loading package ghc-prim ... linking ... done.
Loading package integer-gmp ... linking ... done.
Loading package base ... linking ... done.
Loading package ffi-1.0 ... linking ... done.
[1 of 1] Compiling Main ( Test.hs, interpreted )
Ok, modules loaded: Main.
*Main> newlineCount "a\nb\nc\n"
Loading package bytestring-0.9.2.0 ... linking ... done.
3
*Main>
}}}
So I don't think there's any bug/problem here (please reopen if you don't
agree).
