'V' means 'eValuates'. So your function is strict in both arguments. It's intended to be internal compiler stuff which is while it's not properly documented, I'm afraid. Simon | -Original Message- | From: Till Dörges [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] | Sent: 17 February 2002 12:44 | To:

Data constructors and pattern matching

2002-02-19 Thread David Feuer
It seems to me that it might be very useful for a module to export the pattern matching operators for a datatype without exporting the constructors. Suppose we have data A = X {a::Int, b::Float} And we want to maintain the invariant that b is a floating-point representation of a. So normally
