I'm just wondering -- for "primitive" C types (int, float, char, etc),
why was the decision made in the FFI to have function declarations
look like e.g.

  foreign import ccall "math.h sin" sin :: CDouble -> CDouble

rather than

foreign import ccall "math.h sin" sin :: !CDouble -> !CDouble

Haskell doesn't reflect strictness of functions in their types, no matter whether foreign or not.

*sigh* Silly me, that's a rather good point. I guess I was off in Clean-land for a few minutes ... thanks Marcin.
