Thanks for the latest bunch of error reports, Ian. Patches below.

With this module: data Foo = Foo Int Bar deriving Show data Bar = Bar Int Int deriving Show a `Foo` (b `Bar` c) = 3 `Foo` (4 `Bar` 5)

I get Error after type deriving/checking: Type error type clash between Prelude.Int and Main.Foo when trying to apply function at 5:15 to its 1:st argument at 5:6.

This was an error in parsing the LHS pattern - the bracketing was lost, causing it to associate incorrectly as (a `Foo` b) `Bar` c.

With the module module Foo (,) where foo = 0 I get 2:14 Found Prelude.2 but expected one of _where_ () ( but the report (and GHC) allows this.

Technically, yes this is legal Haskell'98. nhc98 is now fixed to accept a single comma in an export or import list.

If I have foo = 0 --+ 1 then nhc tells me Identifier --+ used at 2:11 is not defined. while the report (and hugs) believe "--+ 1" is a comment.

Nope, the Report agrees with nhc98 that --+ is an operator. Hugs is wrong.
