Ah, surely mere practicalities will not stand in the way of improving the usability of the language? > GHC uses this all the time ..unless you want a compiler, I guess. How about this: A module may be defined in a file with a name corresponding to the module name, or any dot-separated prefix of it? I.e. the file Foo/Bar.hs will define module Foo.Bar and optionally Foo.Bar.Baz as well? GHC should then be able to find it, and I believe it already has a prioritized search mechanism (presumably, the file could be named Foo.Bar.hs, too). -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
