Hi
Having :main would break the Hugs rule that all commands can be abbreviated to a single letter. :Main?
main is basically calling main, and in Haskell Main would be something entirely different. However, the single letter rule is useful. Not sure on that one.
I still have this floating around - I personally find the :main command indispensable now, and curse when I get to a computer without it (or have to use GHCi, again loosing :main). I will probably post it as a recommendation to the GHC team as soon as its in hugs. Any final thoughts on whether it should go in or not, and what its name should be? Thanks Neil
