Compiling the following module (with ghc) fails with error message
"parse error (possibly incorrect indentation)", pointing to the let
statement. The error goes away when I indent the lines marked "--*".
But I don't understand how what I've written could be ambiguous. If I
am inside a parenthesized expression, then I can't possibly start
another let-clause. The fact that the compiler won't acknowledge this
fact ends up causing a lot of my code to be squished up against the
right margin when it seems like it shouldn't have to be.
module Main where
main :: IO ()
main = do
let a = (map (\x->
x+1) --*
[0..9]) --*
print a
return ()
Is there a reason for this behavior or is it just a shortcoming of the
compiler?
