It's subjectively more readable: char list vs. list [of] char. >From my perspective, the concern would be on the one hand that this readability may not extend gracefully to multiple type arguments (in OCaml these are parenthesized), but on the other that the prefix notation wants to look like application, and I'm not sure how that's going to work out (need to try it in the parser). shap _______________________________________________ bitc-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.coyotos.org/mailman/listinfo/bitc-dev
