+1 However, note that I don't mind dropping the dlist dependency from aeson. I use it in a very limited internal place: https://github.com/bos/aeson/blob/master/Data/Aeson/Types/Generic.hs#L213 Don, If we do decide to include dlist in the HP it would be great if the following instances can be added to it: instance Alternative DList where empty = empty (<|>) = append instance Eq a => Eq (DList a) where (==) = (==) `on` toList instance Ord a => Ord (DList a) where compare = compare `on` toList instance Show a => Show (DList a) where showsPrec p dl = showParen (p >= 10) $ showString "Data.DList.fromList " . shows (toList dl) Bas _______________________________________________ Haskell-platform mailing list Haskell-platform@projects.haskell.org http://projects.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/haskell-platform
