But we may have missed something. For example, I don't think anyone
has actually *seen* a "Win32 Programmer's Reference Manual" -- i.e.,
the programming interface for most of the world's computers :-( -- and
something may have been overlooked.
If you are an "expert" about some particular system, *please* give
this I/O proposal a good reading! Does the proposal make sense for
the system in question? Could it be sort-of-plausibly implemented?
Your feedback will really help.
Haskell is not just for Unix boxes! I can say this because I am as
Unix-centric as they come :-)
