Is this approach composeable in the sense that you can combine code written in this code with code from another library? I don't think so. The other library might provide something like IORef, and then it's impossible to uphold static guarantees. IMHO, this rules out such an approach (until it's part of the standard library and forced upon everyone, which seems unlikely). _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
