Yes it is possible! You can't redefine list syntax -- it always means "lists". And it will continue to work regardless of what you import. Just omit import Prelude( [](..) )
Ah! I see. I was getting "constructor not in scope: `:'" in ghc5, but in ghc6 it does indeed work. So, the bottom line here is that with ghc6 I *cannot* have the import, but in ghc5 I *must* have it? Gah.
