[Hugs-users] Typing the plus operator

[aldirithms at gmx.net]

Hello Hugs Users,

do you know why

Hugs> :t 1
1 :: Num a => a


and therefore


Hugs> 1 :: Num a => a
1


is possible under Hugs, whereas 

Hugs> :t (+)
(+) :: Num a => a -> a -> a

and (not?) therefore

Hugs> (+) :: Num a => a -> a -> a
ERROR - Cannot find "show" function for:
*** Expression : (+)
*** Of type    : Integer -> Integer -> Integer


yields the error message shown?

Thank you very much,

Christian,

Haskell beginner
