This kind of discussion would be more appropriate on the haskell-cafe
mailing list. haskell-prime@haskell.org is specifically for discussing
proposals for changes in future revisions of the Haskell language.
Thanks.

have while we still have it!
In retrospect poor Simon may have said to himself, "What! I'm not dead
and buried yet! What is this man saying! I'm not that old!" Perhaps I
have caused him to chuckle privately. I would prefer the later.
