As long as we're pushing pet peeves: don't line things up vertically then. If you use a newline and add a tab level you can still use layout and not have this problem. You wind up with less indentation too, though occasionally more vertical space. And you can use proportional fonts if you want. And you can use editor indent/dedent commands without the editor having to understand haskell. Etc. My pet peeve is having to lean on the space bar while squinting at the screen because someone wants to line things up vertically. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
