Folks, 

| To me, it seems unsatisfactory to have a solution to this pure 
| list problem with auxiliary functions relying on integers.
| It turns out to be a nice exercise to implement

| > diagonalise :: [[a]] -> [a]
| 
| without any reference to numbers.

I havn't been following the diagonalisation
discussion in detail, but there seems to be lots of cunning
programming going on.  Would anyone like to write a Programming
Pearl for the Journal of Functional Programming?

In general, Programming Pearls can be on any topic,
but they have to be polished, preferably short, and to 
show something of the unique opportunities a
functional perspective can offer to the study of computing topics.
(I'm quoting an upcoming editorial by Richard Bird here.)
