Would this break GHC 6.12 builds? Since I do not have GHC 7 installed and, given the breakage I experienced when I installed it the other day and tried to cabal-install my usual tools, will not have it installed any time soon, I am leery of any GHC 7-related changes. data-memocombinators is only the tip of the iceberg; I believe much of lambdabot would need modifications. (Apparently Control.OldException has gone away, which alone guarantees many changes.) So there wouldn't be much point to changing show. -- gwern http://www.gwern.net _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
