Prelude and (:) and []((:), []) bugs?

(:) is allowed in an export list; it is just a normal operator. =20

GHC has a couple of extensions to export lists: we allow gcon instead of
just qcon, and gtycon instead of qtycon.  These are quite natural
extensions, and just reduce the amount of built-in compiler magic needed
to express the Prelude.
