Hi Alberto
I rather doubt a valuable set of

If you consider containers as the containers package, the data
structures are all (?) functorial - but they have different shapes,
so e.g. a cons operation makes sense on the linear ones
(Data.Sequence, Data.List) but not on Data.Map,
The question can be generalized via type classes: Is there any common set of
primitives encapsulated into a single type class that has instances for
Strings (Data.List) ByteStrings, Data.Text, Lazy bytestrings, Arrays,
vectors and wathever container that can store an boxed, unboxed, packed
Just a dream:
-separate interface and implementation for all containers, via type classes
-develop, by genetic programming techniques + quickcheck, a system that find
the best container implementation for a particular program.
Is that suitable for a Google Summer of Code project?
