Just to clarify -- this is a separate toplevel namespace (mirroring the .NET Framework). Should conflicts become an issue a prefix will be added. --sigbjorn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Malcolm Wallace" To: Sent: Monday, March 03, 2003 03:30 Subject: Re: cvs commit: hugs98/dotnet License.net hugs98/dotnet/doc dotnet-lib.html dotnet.html examples.html hugs98/dotnet/examples/basic Env.hs Http.hs Mail.hs hugs98/dotnet/lib DotNet.hs hugs98/dotnet/lib/Syste m Array.hs ...

This commit adds interop support for the .NET platform.

Looks interesting!

However, just one minor point:

...

dotnet/lib DotNet.hs dotnet/lib/System Array.hs Console.hs DateTime.hs Enum.hs MarshalByRefObject.hs Object.hs ObjectTy.hs String.hs StringTy.hs Type.hs TypeCode.hs TypeTy.hs ValueType.hs Xml.hs dotnet/lib/System/Collections IEnumerator.hs dotnet/lib/System/IO Directory.hs DirectoryInfo.hs dotnet/lib/System/Xml XmlAttributeCollection.hs XmlNameTable.hs XmlNamedNodeMap.hs XmlNode.hs XmlNodeTy.hs XmlReader.hs

These hierarchical names look rather strange. Why "System" as a base dir? Wouldn't System.DotNet be perhaps more reasonable, ala System.Posix for instance?

Also, for example, how do these submodules compare with the more "obvious" locations:

System.Array Data.Array System.String Data.String System.Xml Text.XML

although, since they are .NET-specific, perhaps they belong down another level, e.g.

System.DotNet.Text.XML
