Works fine here once I correct your indentation (the "in" needs to be indented at least as far as the "l" in "let").

This is most likely attributable to the use of different compilers. I don't see how accepting such a variant can cause ambiguity, but I'm not quite sure whether it is legal H98. On 5/6/09, Magnus Therning wrote:

Really? For me it's enough to have "in" indented more then "test", and one space is enough:

test = let a = (>) in 1 `a` 2

Just a bit curious then what compiler Brandon was using. I'm using GHC 6.10.2 on AMD64 Linux (Arch).

Actually it's probably because, rather than track separate rules depending on whether I'm embedded in other layout (read: "do"), I just remember to use the stricter rules everywhere. (This affects both "let" and "if".) - -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.10 (Darwin) iEYEARECAAYFAkoDSFUACgkQIn7hlCsL25VV+QCglo4Q1fCHl4coiRuT4tn0GXtb qqAAoI5BsygYL39i6UuWTYS+tRtXK8bQ =zn3F -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
