| Hugs and GHC (but not NHC) erroneously accept the following: | | class Foo a where | f :: Eq a => a -> Bool This behavior of Hugs is intentional, and is documented as a non-bug on the Hugs web pages: (right at the end) http://cvs.haskell.org/Hugs/pages/bugsandfeatures.htm I don't know how the "non bug" status was determined, but perhaps it reflects a view that the real bug is in the language report, where a demonstrably unnecessary, and potentially limiting restriction is imposed. All the best, Mark
