This does sound interesting. Can you provide (at least some of) the code?

I'm working on a project (in Haskell) and was given some old Java code to indicate the required functionality for a particular function. It's a page of nested (4 deep) if statements. (That's probably why they gave me the code, no one could describe it).
I would normally convert this to an FSM, ..... but this is Haskell!
So,
1) Is there a nice (canonical) way of eliminating nested evil in Haskell? I thought that perhaps making a tuple of all the if's conditions and patterm matching on them might make a bit more comprehensible. Likely there's a better way.
2) If an FSM is appropriate is there a 'standard' Haskell FSM implementation? I looked around and could find very little. One paper talked about Arrows but that seems like a bit of overkill ..
It actually seems like a fun problem .. if I had the time ..
Any thoughts greatly appreciated!
