Yes, I realise that.
Perhaps it'd be possible to (for one particular module) override the
default [] and (:) to use a strict-element list. I.e.
import Prelude hiding...
import StrictLists
...
(The intention is to make *all* lists in that module strict)
Anyway, I tried to rewrite my program to use custom-defined lists
instead of []-type lists. Unfortunately, I ended up consuming vastly
more space, and additionally needing a huge stack. And everything was
a lot slower. I've probably messed up something, somewhere. Sigh.
Thanks for all your help, though!
