The current behaviour is consistent with how Haskell tokenizes at the source level. I find this easy to remember, and I would be surprised if read behaved the way you suggest.
Hmm, my intuition was that reads would accept any prefix that parses, but that isn't true (e.g. reads "Truefoo" :: [(Bool, String)]). I'll close the proposal. Thanks Ian
