Thanks. Have you thought at all about how to make "maximally lazy" Naturals? For example, a data type that can answer True to both genericLength (1:undefined) + genericLength (1:2:3:4:5:6:undefined) > (6 :: Nat) genericLength (1:2:3:4:5:6:undefined) + genericLength (1:undefined) > (6 :: Nat) Is that a desired feature? _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
