You could approach that by stacking a supplier of prefixes on top of a supplier of elements (the first supplier supplies `a`, the second supplies `[a]`). That particular case doesn't force us out of generalized consumption as long as we are interested in stacking consumption. -- Jason Dusek _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
