Hello,
Is there any reason why the "gap" in a string literal is defined as gap -> \whitechar {whitechar}\ (in Section 2.6 of the report), rather than gap -> \whitespace\ ? The second, more liberal, definition of "gap" seems more natural. Moreover, it would allow comments in the gaps, which I would find useful. For example, classHeader :: String classHeader = "\xca\xfe\xba\xbe\ -- magic number \\x00\x03\ -- minor version \\x00\x2d" -- major version David ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. David Wakeling, School of Engineering and Computer Science University of Exeter, Exeter, Devon, EX4 4PT. unofficial web page: http://www.dcs.ex.ac.uk/~david ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Haskell mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell
