The Hugs Prelude is/was nice and simple -- self-contained, no compiler pragmas -- which is why you're encouraged to read it in the Haskell Road book...I think the idea is to convey that the student could have written it themselves, including things that are primitive in other languages, with no magic required.
I wonder if https://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/haskell2010/haskellch9.html#x16-1710009 would be a reasonable alternative given the unmaintained-ness of Hugs? -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
