You're of course right. Haskell' could be both. It probably should be as the next Haskell standard (after Haskell') will probably be several years in the future. It would be a shame to wake up the day after GHC fully implements Haskell' and notice that nothing has changed and my old annoyances are still there. -- Johan _______________________________________________ Haskell-prime mailing list Haskell-prime@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-prime
