I know that one of the arguments for making ";" a C-style delimiter rather than a Pascal-style separator is that adding a new statement at the end of a series is error-prone -- one tends to forget to add the ";" in front of the new statement (and one reason Pascal syntax included the "null" statement was so that "s1;" would parse as "s1; null", making ";" a de facto delimiter). Editing ease matters more than a little. -- Bill Wood _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
