I'm wondering why Haskell doesn't support Scheme-like cond statements
or a pattern matching predicate.
I agree that both constructs make sense. The main objective is probably
that the syntax is already quite rich and this would be another thing
to learn and implement.
As well, these constructs would reserve two more identifiers and so
break quite some existing programs. I could expect that especially
match could be used sometimes, like
let match = search foo bar in
use match somehow
Kind regards,
