Maybe that page could also mention earlier proposals and the solutions without precedence numbers. I prefer the non-numeric approach with rules like "(<) binds more tightly than (&&)", because it says what is intended and it allows to make things unrelated that are unrelated, e.g. infix operators from different libraries. Consequently a precedence relation to general infix operators like ($) and (.) had be defined in each library. _______________________________________________ Haskell-prime mailing list Haskell-prime@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-prime
