Subject: [PATCH] [project @ 2003-03-11 09:16:02 by simonpj]
 ----------------------------------       Fix a long-standing egregious parser
 bug 	----------------------------------

	*** MERGE TO STABLE ***

	*** NB: the important part of this commit
	***	got committed by accident with an
	***	unrelated message.  This commit
	***	should be from rev 1.50 to 1.52 of RdrHsSyn


GHC has parsed

	data T String = T String

without complaint, ever since day 1!  This led to consequential
incomprehensible messages.  The fix is easy.
