Hi, friends, I've built GHC from darcs, and... Could anybody tell me, what's the purpose of Arrow[1] not having `>>>' method? 1. http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/base/Control/Arrow.hs $ ghci GHCi, version 6.9.20080104: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help Loading package base ... linking ... done.
