Would that really change that much. Anyone who likes the old seq function (less characters to type than with pragma) will be able to define it: seq a b = {-# SEQ a #-} b Perhaps if you allowed syntax for forcing many expressions people would be more willing to use it: {-# SEQ a, b, c, d #-} e Best regards Tomasz _______________________________________________ Haskell-prime mailing list Haskell-prime@haskell.org http://haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-prime
