[nhc-bugs] Problems with qualified and hiding

Ok, nhc98 was treating these as keywords, when they are really
`specialids' or whatever the current name is.  Anyway, they should
only be treated specially in a particular context, and are otherwise
valid variable names.  (The pseudo-keyword `interface' also belongs
to this class that nhc98 was treating wrongly.)

A patch to fix the problem is available at
    ftp://ftp.cs.york.ac.uk/pub/haskell/nhc98/patch-1.10-keywords

(It is longer than the usual patches, hence I'm not posting it to
the list.  By the way, _all_ the patches posted on the list are also
available from the same FTP directory.)
