Data.Queue ought not to be deprecated in 6.4, as Data.Sequence won't be available until the next major release. > Moreover, there is no documentation available apart > from the source code itself. http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/current/docs/libraries/base/Data-Sequence.html > Regarding Data.Sequence itself: > - I am missing a function for converting a sequence to a list directly; > I have to create a view and convert it to a list. Data.Foldable has toList and various folds, for a class that includes Seq. > - Isn't the name too fuzzy? After all, a standard Haskell list is a > sequence as well. Why not stay with Queue? The name is fairly well-established for the data type provided there; it's much more than a queue. _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list Glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
