It is.
From Report:
========================
A class assertion has form qtycls tyvar, and indicates the membership of
the type tyvar in the class qtycls. A class identifier begins with an
uppercase letter. A context consists of zero or more class assertions, and
has the general form
( C1 u1, ..., Cn un )
where C1, ..., Cn are class identifiers, and each of the u1, ..., un is
either a type variable, or the application of type variable to one or more
types.
A nice. I jumped into 4.3 and found

scontext -> simpleclass

simpleclass -> qtycls tyvar
So it must be 'atype' instead of 'tyvar'? Haskell 98 is really mighty._______________________________________________
