possible bug?

[Jonathon Bell]

i'm tinkering with the Feb 2001 release of hugs, and came across the
following problem while attempting to create my own prelude:

 module MyPrelude where

    import Prelude((:))

    hd(x:xs) = x
    ...

The compiler complains of a syntax error occuring in the import declaration:
(unexpected symbol ":"). I may well be mistaken since i am somewhat new to
haskell programming, but it seems to me that i ought to be able to
explicitly import the list type constructor just like any other identifier.
Thanks for a doing a great job supporting hugs, and keep up the good work...
