Oh, and while we are at it, I think (:) should also be removed as a reservedop, there is no reason for it to be on that list.

Backwards compatibility requires that it be implicitly imported from Prelude even in a module that does "import Prelude ( )" (although Hugs is already broken in this regard).

In particular, Haskell-98 bans import Prelude ( (:) )
