Yes, it matters, but not after "main = do": all the lines can start at the 
beginning of the line. Am I wrong? Or do I not understand what you say?

Yes, I have explained why: to be able to see the evaluation of the splice; 
otherwise I obtain "Not in scope: `a'" if I uncomment "-- print a" at the 
end of my code; I have explained everything in my initial post.
