Uncertain if this is a bug in GHC

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

No, it's not a bug.   --| is a perfectly good lexeme, not the
start of a comment.

| Hi there.
| 
| I am uncertain if the error message below from the code 
| further below is a bug or not.  Putting a space between the 
| "--" and the "|" parses without
| error:
| 
| -------------------------------------
| $ ghc -c test.hs
| test.hs:4: parse error on input `='
| 
| -------------------------------------
| module Test where
| test a
|    |  a > 1 = 1
|  --| a < 1 = 1
|    | a = 1 = 0
