Hello,

obviously, Hugs thinks that =- is a special operator. In Haskell you have the ability to define your own operators, so it would be possible to define an operator =-. I would suggest that you always put spaces around the = in
declarations.

Hello,
thank you for fast reply.
Ok, but what is the semantic of '=-' ? If it's an operator, it should
have some impact (right term?).


The semantics are whatever you define them to be:

(=-) x y = doSomeFunkyStuff x y

Note that this also introduces problems with comments, a common mistake people make is to not put a space after the -- comment symbol, so they may end up with:

--| something

The compiler then interprets --| as an operator.
