import Prelude ([](..))

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

That's it!  We fixed GHC6 to follow the Report in this respect, a change that affects very few people.  Sorry it wasn't clearer.

| Ah! I see. I was getting "constructor not in scope: `:'" in ghc5, but in
| ghc6 it does indeed work.
| 
| So, the bottom line here is that with ghc6 I *cannot* have the import,

| Thanks for your help.
