The aforementioned array.html has:

                            _     -> error "Array.!: \
                                           \multiply defined array element")

suggesting it should detect redefinitions; however,
the library on my system apparently doesn't do that.
It will detect missing defintions with the same error
found in array.html:

                            []    -> error "Array.!: \
                                           \undefined array element"

Is this a bug in my ghc library?  I'n on ubuntu and
synaptic shows the ghc6 version as:

  6.8.2-2ubuntu1
