Re: Problem with hierarchical libraries in Hugs compared to ghc/nhc98

Better yet, drop the support for interpreting the '.' as anything but a hierarchial module namespace separator. That is, use this:

I'm curious why you want to do that: in recent discussions on glasgow-haskell-users one or two people spoke up in favour of allowing the dotted version, and I was seriously considering adding it to GHC. I can't remember all the reasons off the top of my head though.

I think you misunderstand Alastair's comment. The interpretation of '.' that he suggests getting rid of is that of relative directory pathnames, e.g. import "../../lib/Something.hs", which is currently permitted in Hugs, but should no longer be necessary now that we hierarchical libs.
