Both GHC and Hugs parse 1e12 as a number, but Hat and Yhc don't.
I suspect this was an unnoticed change in the Haskell Report spec. Originally I think the exponent form was allowed only if there was a decimal point before the 'e'. I see this is no longer the case. Yes, this is likely to affect the hpc parser as well. Regards, Malcolm
