All the GHC behaviour described above follows the Haskell 98 Report. This treatment of omitted export lists is a documented bug in Hugs (section 5.1.4 of the User's Guide).

(section 5.3.3) I think "all names" there was intended to mean all references in the program (cf 5.5.2). The module exports the locally defined length, and there is no reference to T.length. _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-bugs mailing list Glasgow-haskell-bugs@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-bugs
