GHC ignores pragma due to preceding comment
GHC ignores a {-# OPTIONS -fglasgow-exts #-} pragma because something in the preceding comment block seems to irritate the parser. The attached files demonstrate this, in Trie1.hs the compiler ignores the pragma while Trie2.hs works fine. The only differences are the deleted lines in the comment block on top of the file.
