[Haskell-cafe] Referring to Prelude.(++)

[Terry Hayes]

Thanks, you got me to head in the correct direction.

I need to import Prelude twice, once without (++) and once qualified only for the (++) function.

  import Prelude hiding ( (++) )
  import qualified Prelude ( (++) )

Did you try (Prelude.++)? I think that's the way it needs to be done.
