 In response to:

 infixl 8 ~#

 GHC says:

 parse error on input `~#'

 although:

 infixl 8 ~$
 infixl 8 !#

 are both fine.

 Hugs version September 2006 accepts ~#

 GHC seems to barf over ~# in any context.

 (The reason I have this version of GHC is that it comes with the Haskell
 Platform Ubuntu package right now.)
