Re: Parsec as a Dependency?

Adding parsec as a dependency is a big step - it would bring parsec into GHC's core packages, and force its distribution with other compilers too.

If this happens may I propose having a look at my small parsec patch allowing arbitrary token types not only chars ? Would this cause a big speed penalty? http://mawercer.de/marcweber/haskell/darcs/fparsec/ I've used this to create an experimental command line parser which works fine. Marc Weber
