Is it something that's likely to be in the next standard, then? Or does it make more sense to have the type variables in the function's type signature be in scope in the function definition itself? -- Mark _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
