Isn't it common for e.g. GUI frameworks to process argv[], interpreting and removing the arguments they use. So I'm not sure it is such a 'rare case'. (I guess you could do it differently in Haskell, e.g. have the library init return the list of updated args) -kzm -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
