RE: punning in GHC?
Punning was removed from Haskell some while ago, I believe when Haskell 98 was fixed in Feb 1999. Indeed. However, due to popular demand, the feature was retained as an extension in Hugs (turn on with the -98 option) and nhc98 (turn on/off with the -puns/-nopuns options).

punning in GHC?
hi there, i just discovered that GHC does not support punning with the -fglasgow-exts option. is there another flag to turn this on or has it been completely removed? if so could we have it back - i really like the feature (in patterns anyways) and use it (hugs -98 supports it). i don't particularly care that it is not in haskell 98 as i rarely write haskell 98 programs. by the way before posting this i did a search on punning through the mailing list archive to see if someone asked this already. i couldnt find anything but it seems that since 1997 there were 7 posts on punning and all of them seemed to agree that it was a useful feature, so why was it removed? bye iavor ___ Haskell mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell
