[haskell] incredibly dumb question

[Christopher Jeris]

Here is another one for haskell-newbies, really.  :)

Does anybody else wish for Ix.increment and Ix.decrement ?  I have been
writing some matrix code and whenever I want to refer to "the next row
down" I have been writing (range (i0,i1))!!1, which seems inelegant.
But, it's so simple that there must be a good reason why these functions
are not there ?

thanks & peace,
