<tangential rant> There is a reason why the prelude is called as such and not "the standard library", which is a term I don't think you can find in the language specs.
The word "standard" does not appear as such, but it can be inferred... http://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/haskell2010/haskellpa2.html#x20-192000II Haskell 2010 Language Report: The Haskell 2010 Libraries Note however that the language of the Report's preface applies: this is not intended to be a standard library in the sense usually meant by newcomers, but a conservative minimum required by all conformant implementations. (It's also not limited to the Prelude; neither was Haskell98's version.) -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix/linux, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure http://sinenomine.net
