Anyway that is a very good example why pile syntax is
terrible.
Ralf, I am sorry but your comment makes be rather angry. :(
I hope you have some mercy with me. But I cannot believe that you find
that code easily readable.
Is it so obvious for the untrained eye that the indentation of the line
after the _ is irrelevant? (Actually, I don't know this rule by heart.)
What if the line "Exports == Implementation where" were a bit longer so
that you have to break it again with _? How much would you indent this
third line then?
I agree that in some cases #pile mode might look nice, but I turned away
from it long ago (because of code like the above).
Sorry that I posted my personal opinion. Important for me is that code
should be easily readable (whether pile or not) and for that we should
introduce some style conventions. (I have mine for non-pile mode more or
less encoded in aldor-mode.el. But if more people start programming in
Aldor I'll probably start a Wikipage about style conventions.)
Ralf
