I don't mind what keyword (or indeed syntax) we use! Better alternatives welcome.

Unfortunately | group is a useful function, and is even in Data.List. Thus, | Data.List.group and TransformListComp are incompatible. This seems a | very painful concession to give up a nice function name for a new | extension. Is this intentional? Here's an example: | | > $ cat GroupKeyword.hs | > {-# LANGUAGE TransformListComp #-} | > module GroupKeyword where | > | > a = map head $ group $ sort [1..100] | > $ ghci GroupKeyword.hs | > GHCi, version 6.10.2: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help | > Loading package ghc-prim ... linking ... done. | > Loading package integer ... linking ... done. | > Loading package base ... linking ... done. | > [1 of 1] Compiling GroupKeyword ( GroupKeyword.hs, interpreted ) | > | > GroupKeyword.hs:4:15: parse error on input `group' | > Failed, modules loaded: none. | > Prelude> | | There are some places I'd like to use TransformListComp, but I often | want to use group in the same module. | | Thanks | | Neil | _______________________________________________ | Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list | Glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org | http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list Glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
