There was a discussion along these lines some time ago, started by Frederik Eaton with the subject line "Mixing monadic and non-monadic functions." Personally, I think that automatic lifting is unnecessary. Multi-parameter type classes for the numeric prelude, combined with occasional usage of LiftMn, should handle almost all the lifting without needing to extend the language (further). /g -- We have lingered in the chambers of the sea By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown Till human voices wake us, and we drown. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
