For one, it's difficult to make it available in cross compilers (granted, work is being done on this) and not available on some platforms (ARM has been a problem, dunno if it currently is). For another, I don't think you can currently control things like imports or LANGUAGE pragmas --- and as TH is currently constructed it's not clear that you could do so, or that you could do so in a way that is sane for users. This is not to say that I like cpp --- I'd like it a lot more if it weren't actually using a C preprocessor that is not actually under our control or guaranteed to be compatible with Haskell --- but it does provide a "meta" in a different dimension than TH does. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allber...@gmail.com ballb...@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
