I don't believe I made this commit, or the ones around it. Mysterious; I hope I'm not being impersonated!

Add two local type signatures I'm adding these type signatures to satisfy the "do not generalise local let/where" rule that GHC is taking on. The signatures are clearly correct, but I was surprised at the polymorphism needed. For example parseOptVersion :: ReadP r Version parseOptVersion = parseQuoted ver <++ ver where ver :: ReadP r Version ver = parse <++ return noVersion noVersion = Version{ versionBranch=[], versionTags=[] } Note that 'ver' really is called at two different types! That in turn is because of the type of (<++) (<++) :: ReadP a a -> ReadP r a -> ReadP r a (+++) :: ReadP r a -> ReadP r a -> ReadP r a Note the "a a" in the first arg, which is very unusual. For example, compare the type of (+++). Changing it to match the type of (+++) makes ReadP fail to compile, though, so I assume it's right as it stands. But surely this deserves a comment?!
