Folks The Haskell Report says of n+k patterns:
"A n+k pattern can only be matched against a value in the class Integral." This seems far too strong. All that is needed are Ord (for the >= and -) and Num (for fromInteger), and indeed that's what GHC requires. Do Hugs or nhc actually require Integral? In any case, I propose to change "Integral" to "Ord and Num". Does anyone think this is the Wrong Thing? How this bug has lasted so long I don't know.
