2006-01-25 Thread Brandon Moore
Hi Oleg This approach has the same flaw as your Simple IO Regions code. The typing prevents you from constructing actions involving a handle outside the region of the handle, but not from constructing actions in the region and using them outside. Without the rank-2 types we can use runIOM,
