Agreed on both points. We should add (2) as `cabal format` (similar to go-fmt) or something like that.
Speaking of which, has anyone considered an extensible cabal-install interface, something like what git provides? It seems somewhat unreasonable to me to require stuff like this to be added by recompiling, if cabal-install can be taught to look for plugins (external commands, ghc-api, or whatever). This would make experimenting with things like this (or cabal sandbox) easier and possibly ease upgrades. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
