+
+ <para>Turning on an option that enables special syntax
+ <emphasis>might</emphasis> cause working Haskell 98 code to fail
+ to compile, perhaps because it uses a variable name which has
+ become a reserved word. This section lists the syntax that is
+ "stolen" by language extensions.
+ We use
+ notation and nonterminal names from the Haskell 98 lexical syntax
+ (see the Haskell 98 Report).
+ We only list syntax changes here that might affect
+ existing working programs (i.e. "stolen" syntax). Many of these
+ extensions will also enable new context-free syntax, but in all
+ cases programs written to use the new syntax would not be
+ compilable without the option enabled.</para>
+
+<para>There are two classes of special
+ syntax:
+
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>New reserved words and symbols: character sequences
+ which are no longer available for use as identifiers in the
+ program.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Other special syntax: sequences of characters that have
+ a different meaning when this particular option is turned
+ on.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>

+The following syntax is stolen:
