Do you mean "map" as in mmap or just flattening into and out of binary
files (e.g. the kind of "persistence" C++ offers) ?

When is nhc going to be more than Nearly a Haskell compiler ? Any
possibility of integration with the common ghc/hugs runtime system ?
The ability to call nhc code *from* C is interesting.
