And - re the Hackage library rank - the next logical step is to analyse the actual extension usage before deciding what goes into Haskell'. (Not that it should be the sole deciding factor, of course.) Wolfgang Jeltsch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > I don’t think so.

Without implicit parameters, you can use (?) as an operator regardless of spacing. And, I think, some constructs (list comprehensions?) have a different meaning with Template Haskell. Most of unintended usages would probably end up as errors, though. -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list Glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
