[jhc] fail message sent to stdout?

Hi,

It seems that under jhc, the from fail (called in the IO monad) is
sent to stdout rather than stderr.  Is this a policy choice... and is
it open to debate? I discovered this because a test script was failing
due to the assumption that fail would print to stderr.  Admittedly, it
isn't in the standard, but it makes sense to me that it ought to go to
stderr.
