[Haskell-cafe] Derived Read instance for types with infixconstructors (ghc 6.4.1)

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

| Another thing:
| Would it be a good idea to create derived Read instances that could
parse
| both, "A `And` A" and "And A A" ?
| Since 6.4.2 parses the former and 6.2.2 parses the latter that should
be
| possible, I believe (and both forms are accepted at the ghci prompt).

Well, the Haskell 98 Report says that the derived Read will only read
the infix form if you declare the constructor infix, and vice versa.
(Similarly records.)

Technically it'd be very easy to make the change, although code size
would increase a bit.   We won't do it in 6.6 though.
