[Haskell-cafe] numeric coercion in ghci vs hugs

9 Jan 2012


      After loading the one-line file
        default (Integer,Rational,Double)
the input
        1::Fractional t => t
in ghci yields the output
        1.0
and in hugs
        1%1
The ghci answer appears not to respect the default
declaration.  What's going on?
