[Simon Peyton-Jones]

Aha, that's true.  I discovered that the +ACI-assembly+ACI- or +ACI-package+ACI- part
of the foreign import was never being used, so i dropped it.

(We have a New Plan for this in the revised FFI, of course.)

I suppose we could continue to parse and discard it, but it seems
more honest to reject it.

Sigbjorn, what do you think?

Simon

+AHw- Just a note about this commit: It has silently changed

+AHw- regCloseKey :: Addr -+AD4- IO ()

+AHw- yields a syntax error now. I'm not sure if we should keep 
+AHw- backwards compatibility here, does any Haskell system out 
+AHw- there really +ACo-use+ACo- the 'ext+AF8-loc' part? Anyway, HDirect 
+AHw- generates stuff like this IIRC, so this won't make Sigbjorn 
+AHw- particularly happy, I guess...  :-)
