Proposal: Improve Read Integer

Proposal: Improve Read Integer
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4500

Currently, according to H98, H2010, GHC and hugs,
    reads "1.2" :: [(Integer, String)]
is
    []
whereas I would expect it to be
    [(1,".2")]

Patch:
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/attachment/ticket/4500/read-integer.dpatch

Suggested deadline: 1 Dec 2010.


Thanks
Ian
