float constant dumps core
ghci dumps core if I enter a floating point constant in
any expression:
Prelude> 1.0
Illegal instruction (core dumped)
Any program compled by ghc which contains a floating
point constant dumps core in the same way if/when the
constant is evaluated (but it does compile OK).
Coercion from integer to float works in both ghc and
ghci:
Prelude> 1 :: Float
1.0
