Actually, this isn't a bang pattern: the 'a' here is not a pattern, it's a type variable. Strictness flags in data declarations are a haskell98 feature. See: http://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/haskell2010/haskellch4.html#x10-680004.2 the paragraph on Strictness Flags a little way down that page. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
