About rules

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

No good reason.  I've implemented the one-line change in my copy
but we're in a code freeze until we release GHCi 5.00 on Monday.
After that I'll commit it.

Good idea, thank you.

Simon

| Hi all!
|=20
| I've been playing around with the rules facility a bit. There=20
| is a boring shortcoming when working with infix operators. It=20
| seems that the rule parser doesn't like them at all. The=20
| following example gives syntax error:
|=20
| {-# RULES
|     "plus/mult" forall p . p + p =3D 2 * p
| #-}
|=20
| whereas the following is allright:
|=20
| {-# RULES
|     "plus/mult" forall p . (+) p p =3D (*) 2 p
| #-}
|=20
| It's not a big problem, but it's rather inconvenient and=20
| ugly. Is it easy to fix?

| Cheers,
