However, unsafe* functions are still recommended by Haskell users to newbies, as if these functions belong to the normal usage. Maybe one should add a string parameter to these functions, which must be bound to "I confirm that I know that this function should be used only if really necessary and that I checked properly that safe alternatives do not exist.". The unsafe* function must be undefined, if the confirmation argument does not match. :-) _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
