Correct. > (no, I'm not sure why they're in the C section of the FFI > spec either). Because they are for implementing calls to C code in Haskell that is compiled to .NET ILX. This doesn't mean that I want to necessarily defend them, but this was the reason for their inclusion. Essentially, SimonPJ was saying that to compile Haskell including "foreign import ccall"s to .NET ILX, we need the library spec. I am not too fussed about .NET, so don't mind if we nuke the [lib] specs (as Alastair already did in the CVS version of the spec).
