iirc, this comes up with long string constants, such as the equivalent
of HERE-documents in shell scripts and program generators. if that is
the case, try splitting up the string. instead of
here = "poor man's \n\
\here document\n\
\in haskell\n"
use
here = unlines
["poor man's"
,"here document"
,"in haskell"
]
that way, you don't have to make your own incompatible version of
hugs, and haskell's string gaps don't buy you anything in readability
anyway.
Ross: perhaps Hugs could use (++) internally to encode string gaps,
instead of trying and often failing to parse a monolithic string token?
(the max token length was extended in the past, but a fixed limit
will never do for all applications)
