I use a formula like this very often:
hPutStrLn stderr "error message"
Is there not some shortcut function in base that prints to stderr without having to pass in the handle? Obviously it is not hard to define one, but it would be neat to know if there was already one in base. (I couldn't seem to find one in the System.IO listing.)
Not to my knowledge. Generally speaking, such functions (which are just simple combinations of other things) are not usually included in the standard library. -Brent
