GHC (with the flag -fglasgow-exts) and Hugs (with the flag -98) implement it. I think NHC does too.
Excellent!
Your (previous) code example turned out to be extremely helpful. I was having a hard time figuring out what I needed to do to get my code to work in a reasonable fashion for my purposes, and it provided just the pointers I needed to break the logjam. Having it in a complete form with simple test cases was particularly helpful, and having got the type signatures sorted out I'm making much better progress on my project. Much appreciated.
Having tried briefly to work without them, I now think multi-parameter classes are a really important extension for a range of programming tasks. Having support in Hugs and GHC seems to me like an important threshold of support.
Thank you for your help.
