It's not so much whether people still use Hugs just that the non-H98

I first looked at FGL 8 or 9 years ago, thinking about porting it to
PLT-Scheme but I didn't have the Haskell smarts to do it. In those
days I only had Hugs installed, though I may not have ever loaded FGL.

Here's a guide to Hugs's extensions:
