Version: November 2002 Platform: Mac OS X 10.2.3 Problem: Redefining Prelude names no longer requires explicit hiding. Example: script.lhs: --------------------

module M where

length = 5

Hugs session for: /usr/local/lib/hugs/lib/Prelude.hs script.lhs M> :t length length :: Integer In previous versions of Hugs, and in the Haskell 98 report (Section 5.6.2), changing Prelude names requires a `hiding` declaration such as

import Prelude hiding (length)
