[Haskell-cafe] duplicate type signatures

28 Mar 2013

      Dear all,

why is this allowed (GHCi, version 7.4.1):

main :: IO ()
main = do
   let a, a :: Int
       a = 5
   print a

but this not:

main :: IO ()
main = do
   let a :: Int
       a :: Int
       a = 5
   print a

Is there a deeper sens or is it just a little bit inconsistent?
