The error report comes when loading MarshalUtils.hs which is one of the new standard FFI libraries and defines a function called 'with'. It's an incredibly useful library that would be painful to avoid.

I'd say the problem is in Hugs. Why does it have a setting which prevents it from being able to load standard libraries? It's now something like 2 years since we agreed to change the syntax, isn't it time that we removed support for the flag from the compiler? I vote for eliminating the +/-W flag.

Jeff Lewis likes the 'with' keyword and wants to keep the option of +W (though off by default).
