Haskell 98 prelude bug report

[Olaf Chitil]

The prelude contains 

instance  Bounded Char  where
    minBound            =  '\0'
    maxBound            =  '\xffff'

I didn't follow all the discussion about unicode, but the maxBound seems
to be wrong. It probably should be '\x10ffff'. The exact specification
could also be avoided by defining

    maxBound = primUnicodeMaxBound

where primUnicodeMaxBound is imported from UnicodePrims.
