At the risk of becoming repetitious, let's keep refining the Wiki to give these competing proposals in their most up-to-date form. I'm not arguing against email -- it's an excellent medium for discussion -- but having the outcomes recorded makes them accessible to a much wider audience who have not followed the detailed discussion.
i would have preferred some discussion here first, but to keep it from getting lost, i've now added my own proposal (different thread, in case you're wondering;) to
http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Top_level_mutable_state as '5 Proposal 4: Shared on-demand IO actions (oneShots)'. claus _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
