 Declarations such as
 {{{
 newExp (*) a c n
   = let
       infixl 7 *
     in
     a ^ n * c
 }}}
 work well with GHC but Hugs complains that "*" is not defined.

 The Report is not explicit about this, at least I couldn't find
 such case discussed there. But as a fixity change for an operator
 introduced as a formal parameter is perfectly reasonable and safe,
 I think that this should be legal.
