"not" "yet" (well that was about all I could say in 2 words :-). > is > it can be used with ghc 6.4, or 6.6, or ...? some solution in this > area, imho, is a must for serious application development I didn't want to unilaterally implement something without having a discussion about exactly what to do, as there are various design issues. The Haskell Workshop paper advocates one particular point in the design space, and I think the point it occupies is a local maximum for various reasons, but it's not 100% clear that this is the right thing for Haskell'.
