There is nothing complicated in Haskell's module system. It's very simple, explicit, independent from the type system and therefore easy to understand. "Verbose" or "low-level" would be better accusations. It seems that you want to introduce some kind of C++'s Koenig's lookup to Haskell. Is it your inspiration? For me, C++ doesn't seem to be a source of good ideas for programming language design ;-) Best regards Tomasz -- I am searching for programmers who are good at least in (Haskell || ML) && (Linux || FreeBSD || math) for work in Warsaw, Poland _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
