I think the key is to be quite clear about what it is the function

Hello,
Can someone elucidate to me this behaviour from ghci 6.6.1? Why is the
type of sqlist specialised to Integer?
Prelude let sq x = x * x
Prelude :t sq
sq :: (Num a) = a - a
Prelude sq 2.5
6.25
Prelude :t map sq
map sq :: (Num a) = [a] - [a]
Prelude map sq [2.5]
[6.25]
This is all as I

so much, you don't want to go back... ;-)

Just to let everyone know , the Haskell Hackathon is underway (the 2nd

being worked on furiously -- Cabal and related tools in particular. You
