module bug?

[Hamilton Richards]

Version: November 2002

Platform: Mac OS X 10.2.3

Problem: Redefining Prelude names no longer requires explicit hiding.

Example:

script.lhs:
--------------------
>  module M where

>  length = 5
--------------------

Hugs session for:
/usr/local/lib/hugs/lib/Prelude.hs
script.lhs
M> :t length
length :: Integer

In previous versions of Hugs, and in the Haskell 98 report (Section 
5.6.2), changing Prelude names requires a `hiding` declaration such as

>  import Prelude hiding (length)
