7044	reject reading rationals with exponent notation	maeder		"The program

{{{
main = print (1E1000000000 :: Rational)
}}}

fails in the same way as for doubles currently. This should not happen at compile time! Therefore I suggest to forbid using the e-notation for rationals, it is not legal for integers either.

(An alternative would be to evaluate the rational only at run-time)"	bug	new	normal	7.8.1	Compiler	7.4.2				Unknown/Multiple	Unknown/Multiple	None/Unknown	Unknown				#5692
