It is not. Lets are expressions. Wheres are part of declarations. In a grammar sense, you have something like:

funcdef ::= name = expr (where decls)? expr ::= let decls in expr

so the declarations inside a let are internal to the expression and can't go outside into the where clause.

I see now. Thanks. #g ------------------- Graham Klyne <GK@NineByNine.org> PGP: 0FAA 69FF C083 000B A2E9 A131 01B9 1C7A DBCA CB5E
