The Haskell Report says: To facilitate the use of layout at the top level of a module (an implementation may allow several modules may reside in one file), the keyword module and the end-of-file token are assumed to occur in column 0 (whereas normally the first column is 1). Otherwise, all top-level declarations would have to be indented. I've read this many times without thinking about it; however, once I thought about it, it doesn't make sense. Following a module, the keyword "module" is "an illegal lexeme...encountered at a point where a close brace would be legal"; therefore, the close brace is properly inserted no matter what column "module" occurs in. Therefore, I suggest that the above paragraph be removed from the Report. Carl Witty [EMAIL PROTECTED]
