seeing this, I wonder if do-statements (and qualifiers in list
comprehensions) could be easily extended by an alternative for simple
declarations (without mutual recursion and type signatures)
qual -> pat <- exp | "let" decls | exp | (funlhs | pat0) rhs
stmt -> exp ; | pat <- exp ; let decls ; | (funlhs | pat0) rhs ; | ;
These simple declarations could be easily recognised by an equal "=" or
guard "|" sign and distinguished from the "pat <- exp" binding.
It would avoid the above extra indentation!
main = do
a = ...
print a
Has this ever been considered before (and was rejected for some reason)?
Cheers Christian
