Re: Call to arms: lambda-case is stuck and needs your help

The `multi-clause lambda' seems more elegant, if the syntactical problems could be worked out. I mean, unnamed functions are thus just like named functions, something that you'd probably think to try just as soon as you needed the feature. I don't understand the issues well enough with the layout rules to comment on Tyson Whitehead's ideas about that, and for the same reason this may be a useless idea, but what if each clause were introduced by \, would that clarify the column structure, or does indented block structure require a less-indented `layout herald'? f = \ (Just a) (Just b) | a < 0 || b < 0 -> Nothing \ (Just a) (Just b) -> Just (a * b) \ _ _ -> Nothing Donn
