Hello,

In testing my packages for the impending GHC 7.8 release, I ran into some issues with Alex-generated code. In particular, it looks like the (>=#) and (==#) operators now return Int# instead of Bool, so expressions like

if (offset >=# 0#) && (check ==# ord_c) then ...

no longer type check. Is this a known issue? Are there any plans to fix it? I'd offer to submit a pull-request, but I'm not familiar with the Alex codebase so that'd take a while
