Crazies? :-)

Having switched from C++ to Haskell (at least in my spare time) I
thought I'd escaped that kind of type hackery but it seems to be
following me...
The way I see, we are trying to come up with a clean way of
providing type-level computations (ie, we use and extend the
standard theory of HM type systems). C++ embedded a functional
language in the type systems mostly by accident, whereas we do it on
purpose.
