Why is that a problem? Would TH and quasi-quoting be likely to be enabled at the same time? One could decide in favour of QQs if they are enabled (though yes, this is likely horrible on the inside). > Or we could switch to different quotation brackets altogether > for quasiquotation, the obvious possibility being > <|...blah...|>, and <pads|...blah...|>. [...] It's true; but I suspect `<|' and `|>' are actually widely used. Wouldn't `(|' and `|)' be safer? In either case, it's easy to see how me evolve an indentational quasi-quote syntax: `[|]' or `(|)'. If the default quasi-quoter is simple string literals, then there's no need for a HEREDOC in the language. -- Jason Dusek _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list Glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
