[nhc-users] Question about Data.List

Hi all,

I have module that uses Data.List that won't compile with nhc, but works
with ghc and hugs.  

I get an error that identifier "sum" is defined twice.  I assume that
this is because Data.List reexports the Prelude list functions.  I can
make the error go away by explicitly using either Prelude.sum or
Data.List.sum, but shouldn't Data.List.sum shadow Prelude.sum?

Thanks.
