I second that.  I came to Haskell after many other
programming languages, and was VERY surprised by echo
behaviour.  I vote for consistency with long-standing
standards (C library, every other language) and versatility
(echo and buffering determined by environment -- it should
be configured to also run non-Haskell programs, after all).

                                             Feri.
