Characterizations of H-M type inference?

1998-04-24 Thread Frank A. Christoph
Does anyone know if Hindley-Milner type inference has been characterized in a non-operational way? I mean either some sort of canonical correspondence (as the simply typed lambda-calculus with intuitionistic natural deduction) or some statement that describes it in terms of a universal property,

Standard Haskell Libraries

1998-04-24 Thread Frank A. Christoph
Suggestion for Standard Haskell: Copy all the stuff in the Prelude to the standard libraries, at least when there is an obvious module for them to go to. For instance, head and tail should appear in the List module. I doubt I'm the only one who can't remember if a particular list function, for
