Thanks for the info.

Well, according to that explanation, all modules would be non-portable since 
the Prelude is normally implemented using non-standard features.  I think, 
this is solved by declaring all modules described in the Haskell 98 Report 
portable.

One question: Every module which imports a non-standard module has to list all 
of this other module's non-portability reasons in its own reasons section 
again, rigtht?
