I hope it will be a long time because fixing this bug will break my
habit of separating major pieces of code with "comments" like:

----------------------------------------------------------------
-- Parser

(64 -'s in a row happen to be particularily easy to generate with emacs.)

I remember mentioning this when the change was suggested at ICFP last
year - but didn't get much sympathy then...
