Oops, well spotted, thanks. That's another small change I made
recently. I should have mentioned in the CVS comment, but forgot, that
I changed the order of parameters to escapeString. Does anyone have any
objection?
Yes, I do! :-) It breaks old programs and introduces just another #ifdef...
[[
diff -r1.13 -r1.12
95c95
< , escapeString -- :: (Char->Bool) -> String -> String
---
> , escapeString -- :: String -> (Char->Bool) -> String
]]
(Rationale: the revised parameter order makes it easier to create
specialized string-escape functions by currying with the
escape-character-testing function.)
I really like the new order much more and I've never understood the old one,
to be honest. Nevertheless, I think we should keep the old version (deprecated)
and be creative about a new name for the version with swapped parameters (incl.
escapeChar). That's library business...
Cheers,
S.
