It hasn't changed. Obviously, RC1 has it still in the prelude:
    Hugs session for:
    /usr/lib/hugs/lib/Prelude.hs
    Type :? for help
    Prelude> :t isDigit
    isDigit :: Char -> Bool
And if it would have changed, AFAICS, Hugs would have to support
mutually recursive modules. Then the man page would be wrong because it
says that Hugs doesn't support them.
