Hi,

I got this deprecation warning:

     Warning: Module `GHC.Handle' is deprecated:
                use GHC.IO.Handle.Base instead

But I think it should have been:


     Warning: Module `GHC.Handle' is deprecated:
                use GHC.IO.Handle instead

There is no GHC.IO.Handle.BAse in my installation of GHC 6.12.1.

The problem (it it was not intended) is there in the current head too:

~/haskell/ghc.head/libraries/base 836> darcs what -u
hunk ./GHC/Handle.hs 18

  -- #hide

-module GHC.Handle {-# DEPRECATED "use GHC.IO.Handle.Base instead" #-} (
+module GHC.Handle {-# DEPRECATED "use GHC.IO.Handle instead" #-} (
    withHandle, withHandle', withHandle_,
    wantWritableHandle, wantReadableHandle, wantSeekableHandle,

~/haskell/ghc.head/libraries/base 837>
