 Below is the source code in which the bug occurs. It is easily reproduce-
 able, by having the type be IO{} instead of IO().

 When ran, this code will produce the "panic! The impossible has happened"
 output. Which told me to report the bug here.

 By changing IO() to IO{} (which I did by accident), no exception is
 thrown, it simply tells the user to panic!


 {{{
     main :: IO {}
     main = do
             e1 <- getLine
             e2 <- getLine
             print ((read e1) + (read e2))


 }}}
