A bit more complexity, but perhaps useful.
And if it turns out we are in the mood to look at extending the inport/export/module syntax perhaps we could also consider the qualified export idea posted a few weeks ago. That was so that you could say: import Graphics.UI.Gtk and then use Button.setText (rather than buttonSetText) as $DEITY intended. Down with the moduleNamePrefix! :-) Duncan _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list Glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
