[Haskell-cafe] Infix and postfix operators in Parsec

[Xinyu Jiang]

I'm writing a parser for a Haskell-style language, and when I need to use
the same symbol for infix, prefix and postfix operators, the combinator
"buildExpressionParser" seems not to work as intended. For example, in:

(1)x + y
(2)x +
(3)+ x

If I set the priority of the postfix version of "+" to be higher than the
infix version, the parser cannot recognize (1), for it stops at the end of
"x +". And if the priority of postfix "+" is lower, Parsec complains about
(2) by returning an error message which expects something after "+".

Is there some way to get over this problem, and let me be able to still
benifit from the expression mechanism in Parsec. Or should I write these
stuff from scratch? Thanks.
