confluence! Inspired by some posts the other day I implemented an
immutable GUID naming scheme for interfaces with Haskell. I thought it
would require compiler support, but it turns out a good 90% solution can
be done as a separate program quite nicely and there are not too tough
workarounds for
[stuff about GUIDs]
Careful! There are two things one might tie GUIDs to.
You could compute a hash of (or associate a GUID with) the *interface*,
or the *implementation*. These are different things. Until we know
which we want, we should support both.
Why?
One might reasonably say this
