I have a Hugs patch that I'd like to get in, if possible. It makes the set of suffixes for Haskell modules user-configurable via a -S option, analogous to -P for search paths. For example, with the invocation hugs -S:.y:.ly the suffix list becomes .hs:.lhs:.y:.ly and when importing a module Foo it tries Foo.hs, Foo.lhs, Foo.y and Foo.ly. I find it useful in conjunction with the preprocessor option: the preprocessor can use the suffix to decide how to turn the file into Haskell. Perhaps there are other uses. The patch is at: http://www.soi.city.ac.uk/~ross/hugs-patch It's fairly long, but the last half is all repetition.
Sounds like a handy generalisation & something I've wished
for a couple of times. Feel free to commit away
(or do you want me to apply the patches below?)
