That's just what I intend to do. I don't see Std Haskell as a big
deal, but even little deals are worth completing rather than
leaving as loose ends... and I'm more optimistic than Paul about
the usefulness of Std Haskell. I would be happy to find a name
that was less grand and final-sounding than 'Standard Haskell' though;
but more final sounding than 'Haskell 1.5'.
Matthias's points are good ones, but premature for Haskell I think,
which is still moving pretty fast. Indeed, for some reason, faster
of late.
