Ah, thank you. The missing (and undocumented) option.

Actually, now I came to submit a patch to the manual, I discover that it /is/ documented, but at the beginning of section 7. (But on the index page on the web, the link to section 7 is two whole screenfuls away from the link to 7.10, so it is no wonder I didn't think to look there first.)

Maybe there are other subsections of 7 that could usefully gain a similar pointer to the need for -fglasgow-exts? For instance, are other pragmas (INCLUDE, INLINE, UNPACK) only activated by -fglasgow-exts?

I believe RULES is the only pragma that requires -fglasgow-exts, the reason being that the syntax inside RULES uses the 'forall' keyword, which is only enabled by -fglasgow-exts. If you could submit a doc patch, that would be great. Cheers, Simon
