n+k patterns

1993-05-17 Thread Lennart Augustsson
Could those in charge of the formal semantics of Haskell (yes, that's you folks in Glasgow!) tell me what the meaning of n+k patterns are? In the report it says that case e0 of { x+k -> e; _ -> e' } translates to if e0 >= k then { let { x' = e0-k } in e[x'/x] else e' Which >=

Lennart Augustsson has just posted a couple of queries concerning the Haskell Report's transformations for defining the semantics of pattern-matching constructs. His questions are of the following form: In the RHS of the translation, does symbol `X' refer to its meaning in the canonical mod
