[Haskell-beginners] Query regarding an unusually behaving code

[Theodore Lief Gannon]

GHCi doesn't quite support everything you could put in a source file. To do
what you want here, you need to use Haskell's alternative block syntax:

:{
let { digs 0 = [0]
    ; digs x = (digs (x `div` 10)) ++ [(x `rem` 10)]
    }
:}

...yep, curly braces and semicolons just like C-family. :) It's intended
for machine-generated code, but works for this too. And in fact you
actually don't need multi-line, this is legal:

let { digs 0 = [0]; digs x = (digs (x `div` 10)) ++ [(x `rem` 10)] }
