The 'C' in ACIO says that it commutes with any operation in the IO monad. Without that property you can't safely implement it in a program where the top-level has type IO a. http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2004-November/007664.html Ganesh _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
