:) Oh, I don't know that, unfortunately, because I've never looked under =
the=20
hood of GHC. But I've encountered quite a lot of errors in C source... an=
d=20
these kinds of things are the reason why everybody shamelessly (and quite=
=20
reasonably) hates cpp. But a one-character (!) preprocessor macro #define=
d=20
within a user-#included file is definately a bug. *wink* *wink*
