I'm not trying to avoid learning the differences between the different folds, but I am looking for a mnemonic device that will allow me to proceed more quickly towards my goal. My ultimate goal is to write software, not to understand folds. Just as it is inappropriate for a young officer to even contemplate an overall strategy for winning the war, it would be inappropriate for a general to spend more time than necessary on the minute details of military tactics, as vital as they are. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
