[Yhc] YHC.Primitive;_E

[Tom Shackell]

That is no doubt because _E is counted as a lowercase identifier by 
every other Haskell compiler. The use of _E is historical, that was what 
it was called in nhc98, and I never got round to changing the name. If
someone wants to go through the libraries and rename it that would be 
fine :)

Cheers
