Comment(by altaic):
Hmm, that's odd... Perhaps someone with better GHC-fu can figure out why
these results are different:
{{{
Prelude GHC.Float> showsPrec 0 (-1.0 :: Double) ""
"--1.0"
Prelude GHC.Float> showSignedFloat showFloat 0 (-1.0 :: Double) ""
"-1.0"
}}}
Given that in `Float.lhs`:
{{{
instance Show Double where
showsPrec x = showSignedFloat showFloat x
showList = showList__ (showsPrec 0)
}}}
