Comment:
Note that with `-Wall` you get a warning if you ignore a non-`()` result:
{{{
module Q where
f :: IO ()
f = do sequence [putStr "A", putStr "B"]
putStr "C"
}}}
{{{
$ ghc -c -O q.hs -fforce-recomp -Wall
q.hs:5:8: Warning:
A do-notation statement discarded a result of type [()].
Suppress this warning by saying "_ <- sequence
[putStr "A", putStr "B"]",
}}}
Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm not sure it's worth adding a special
case to the compiler to do the rewrite - especially as it's not a type-
preserving transformation.
