#9538: unwords does not participate in list fusion -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: dfeuer | Owner: Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.2 Resolution: invalid | Keywords: Operating System: | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Unknown/Multiple | Difficulty: Unknown Type of failure: | Blocked By: None/Unknown | Related Tickets: Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Description changed by slyfox: Old description:

I'm not quite sure how far this can go, but `unwords` should almost certainly be a good consumer or a good consumer. Currently it is neither. Making it a good consumer is trivial, given `concatMap` that fuses:

{{{#!hs unwords = tail . concatMap (' ':) }}}

Alternatively, we should be able to make it a good producer without too much trouble, I think. I have my doubts about making it both.
