Hmm; good point.

I do not think it is nice: I do not like any of the
solutions Hughes considers in that paper because this
problem can be handled much more simply with
this will be my last message on this topic as I need to stop
reading this list for a few months.

I do not know Sengan but, from reading that one paragraph I will
venture that he is one of those programmers who refactors his code
a lot and wants the information to to facilitate refactoring.
(by refactoring I mean changing interface boundaries, eg,
introducing and eliminating functions.)

Can you say a little more about why you think reflection is bad?
Does it make the language implementation run slower?

The short answer is you can't, or you do not want to because it is not
worth the effort. E.g., monad transformers can be considered
a way to mix monads, but I do not believe they are worth

Hi,
I am not sure whether this is the right place to ask this question. I want
to know what's the Haskell coding environment used by GHC users on
windows? What 's the preferred editor? Is there any Haskell tags for vim?
Also, is there any program which will convert Haskell modules to HTML
