I'm pretty sure I was able to use FiniteMap with Hugs once before with one or two
simple modifications. I don't know about PrelBase---I think you can just delete the
import---, but there is no Maybes module in Hugs. FM only uses one function though,
maybeToBool, so you can just add that to the module and it should compile(provided you
preprocess it or enable the CPP option in Hugs).
