Folks
It seems that people are happy with the draft Haskell report (I'm
glad to say). There seem to be two outstanding issues:
* Tuples. I've decided to specify that tuples up to size 15 exist,
along with all their Eq, Ord, etc instances up to that size.
* The Prelude types of

Folks,
I'm about to put out (what I hope is) the final revised Haskell98
report.
Here, though, is one good point I propose to clarify. I propose to
say that
every H98 impl must support tuples up to size 7
and their instances for Eq, Ord,
I think that this discussion about tuples shows that there is a problem
with the Haskell 98 report which should be corrected. I hope Simon
accepts it as a minor bug fix.
1) The current wording of paragraph 6.1.4 is highly ambigious.

Tuples are algebraic datatypes with
