I've never heard of anyone complain of being confused by otherwise, or any other Prelude-defined identifier, not behaving as expected for this reason.\\ It's because you've never worried about the problem! There is a beginning for everything.

Regardless of our opinions\\ Why do you hide your opinion in this ticket?
Reply to bgamari and goldfire:\\ I know you will not do anything. You follow your way and you do not ask yourself the right questions. Haskell is still a language for research. Do not neglect what others have done in the past with other languages even if they are not functional language.\\ -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13669#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
