I suggest switching from 'read' to a real parser that can give you proper error
messages. I use Text.Parse from the polyparse package, which is designed to
parse back exactly the format produced by derived Show instances. To derive
the Parse class from your datatypes, the tool DRiFT is handy.
The extra parameter "i" is for "information" attached to each node of the tree.
As you have correctly guessed, the parser fills in this field with positional
information relating to the original source document, which is useful for

The point is that refusing something you can have now (though
of course it's an open question whether TDNR is something we can "have

I think we are very far from having TDNR "now". It is

I haven't checked how much RAM nhc98 needs for bootstrapping
recently, but the
Makefile suggests 16Mb of heap + 2Mb of stack is more than
sufficient -
it could probably manage with less.
If it was possible to save resources in these days - why isn't it
possible today anymore?

I recall running Haskell-like programs (compiled by Gofer, the
predecessor of Hugs) on a machine with 256Kb of memory, back in the
early 1990s. They were smallish program

Originally, it needed to be able to compile itself in the 2Mb

Do tell.

It is inacceptable for scripting language, faced to no-programmers.
Such
languages must be as plain and regular, as possible.
Did Haskell get significant whitespace from Python - doubtful as
Python possibly wasn't visible enough at the time, but you never know.
Whitespace is significant in almost every language: foo bar /= foobar.
Using indentation for program structuring was introduced by Peter
Landin in his ISWIM

It is possible that your Parsec lexer will need to see the entire
input before it delivers any tokens at all to the Happy parser. This
might cause a space problem, depending on how large your inputs are
likely to be.
