In Learn_Haskell_in_10_minutes#Function_definitions, the definition of main is not a function, but rather an IO definition. Haskell cleanly separates the notion of "function" from "definition". I suggest renaming this section just "Definitions" and tweaking the explanation. Conal 13:17, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
