Re: Change to Posix.lhs
Should getEnvVar just be overloaded in Posix.lhs or should the whole thing (System & PosixProcPrim) be changed? -- Volker Stolz * [EMAIL PROTECTED] * PGP

I think ideally that getEnv like functions should return Maybe rather than raising an exception. But we're stuck with the definition in the standard, and I think that means Posix should stay the same as well. It's not really such a pain - you've got "try" which turns an error into an Either.
