If you provide Applicative and Alternative instances for your getter monads (perhaps you already do?), that will get us very close to the kind of notational succinctness that Erlang's bit-level pattern matching gives, using entirely general Haskell mechanisms, and without the fuglitude of TH. That, I think, would be just lovely. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
