You could of course say that I'm using a bad style, but it remains that it seems to be inconsistent to allow a trailing comma in one place and not in the other. So is there an reason for this?
there is actually a bug report against the ghc package in Debian from a user, requesting a more liberal comma separated list parsing. We did not patch ghc in Debian to that end, though :-) http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=511834
