consider this partial program: if n>5 then putStrLn "big" else putStrLn "small"
this works fine in hugs, but in ghc I must change it to: if n>5 then putStrLn "big" else putStrLn "small"
Actually, this also works:
if n > 5 then putStrLn "big" else putStrLn "small"
Except in a "do", the "else" must be indented beyond the start of the "if". I think Hugs is violating the Haskell98 layout rules.
