I'm implementing it for things where I 100% subjectively feel it makes sense. This does *not* include tuples, for the reason you mention. When I get the time, I will make a Wiki page outlining what I'm changing and my motivation for doing it. We can then have a discussion about where to draw the line. I need to figure out a more elegant solution than tweaking the parser for each individual item. If someone knows their way around this code, please talk to me on IRC/SIP/XMPP/whatever. Just email me for contact info. I'll be busy today with a haskell workshop, but I plan on spending the rest of the week on this business. - -- Alexander alexan...@plaimi.net https://secure.plaimi.net/~alexander -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iF4EAREIAAYFAlQinw4ACgkQRtClrXBQc7VL4gD6Ao12HqH1Mjl30n/1Mwlby7W6 /2+JeUOF9ui959xh1QkBAIdTA6km9gDvgCQ1nBQ5juZFNF79C1Fezk2yEpOvF7Fe =l/sh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ ghc-devs mailing list ghc-devs@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/ghc-devs
