Hi
The unsafePerformIO patch is something Neil asked me to send in. It's a
cleaned up, slightly renamed and documented version of inlinePerformIO
that we use in ByteString, but exported from System.IO.Unsafe.
Similarly, the unsafeDupablePerformIO are also exported (separate
patches). And implementations are given for non-GHC so it should all
still work. This is not a direct proposal, but rather a request for
comments. If people think it's not insane to give people this much rope
then we can send the patch through the libraries submission process.
As I requested it, its not entirely surprising that I support this.
The reality is that in some cases people need this rope (I do for
Uniplate and Supero, for instance) and I'd rather get my rope in a
properly documented portable manner, than getting black-market rope
which may disappear some day.
That said, my guess is that the unsafePerformIO patch should go
through the libraries submission process.
Sure, I think it would be good to have this in a standard place. Duncan,
will you do the proposal?
Cheers,
Simon
