That is no doubt because _E is counted as a lowercase identifier by every other Haskell compiler. The use of _E is historical, that was what it was called in nhc98, and I never got round to changing the name. If someone wants to go through the libraries and rename it that would be fine :)

Hi

 One observation about _E: Haddock does not like it.

And having just checked, neither does GHC. Perhaps we shouldn't be
using _E but something else - the definition:

data Box a = Box a

or

data Tup1 a = Tup1 a

both look good, and have some slightly obvious meaning. Tom - any
reason not to prefer one of these?

Thanks

Neil
