Typically, it's one token. You can't tell (in a language like Pascal) as 
you're parsing tokens. You have to get to the syntax tree before 
figuring out whether it's a unary or binary minus.

In APL, there are two minus signs, one for the operator and one you put 
in front of negative numbers. Which helps more than you'd think because 
all operators are right-associative.

Now hop onto your haskell group and ask their opinion and try to get it  
linked in on various Haskell wiki's etc.

News! o_O

Heh. I already round out that there's a ticket delaying the release of 
GHC 6.10, and it was opened in response to an email I wrote - a year 
ago! o_O

Does Haskell have a wiki?
