Tony Davie's remarks prompt me to ask: "Who needs mutually recursive modules
anyway?".  I've never missed the facility in Miranda and my programs
are much the clearer for it --- module dependency diagrams with NO
directed cycles --- bliss!

I expect there is some pressing (and obvious) reason why
mutual recursion is a must in Haskell --- could someone enlighten me ?
