But note that GHC 6.4 has a bug whereby this doesn't work as expected when compiling via C. Either use the native code generator (-fasm) or wait for 6.4.1.
Any ETA on 6.4.1? I am debating whether to rewrite code to work around this bug or just wait for the point-release?
We don't have any firm plans yet. It makes sense to wait until the flow of bug reports has slowed, and that hasn't happened yet. But I'll take your message as a vote for sooner rather than later. Cheers, Simon
