In the PDF: p37: "guard --> pat <- infixexp" Is that really meant to be infixexp, not exp? GHC accepts: foo | True <- True :: Bool = 'a' p37: Hmm, likewise "guard --> infixexp". GHC accepts foo | True :: Bool = 'a' but hugs doesn't (unexpected `::'). So I guess these are both just GHC bugs, although I wonder why the report isn't more liberal. p42: The negative literal alternative in pat is redundant p47: I'm not sure I see the reason for this change. It seems to just make it more complicated. If the change is made, should say y is a new variable. I don't know if the colouring is important, but there's a black "y" that should be purple, and two purple "_ ->" that should be black, p47: Case (h) is alone in ending in a full stop p48: Case s, again I don't see the point of the y binding Thanks Ian _______________________________________________ Haskell-prime mailing list Haskell-prime@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-prime
