Never mind, that GHC compiler was again more clever than me, sigh.

That's really frustrating about Haskell: the compiler captures so many errors at compile time, that newbies hardly get anything done, it's a constant battle against the errors. But once it compiles, it usually works at runtime :-)

This is what I love about Haskell: If it typechecks, it probably does the thing you meant it to. I've never seen any other language like it. It's amazing!
