That's partly because it's not true. There are arbitrarily large finite lists for which the equivalent is false, e.g. on a 32bit machine: Prelude> 10 + length (replicate maxBound 'a') -2147483639 Thanks Ian _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
