this usage of unsafePerformIO is such a staple of real-world Haskell programming, it seems there should be some language (or experemental compiler *wink wink ghc nudge*) support for it.
Sounds like a bad habit that shouldn't be encouraged to me. Still, if there is a way to support this safely, perhaps it should be allowed. I'd like to see a compiler flag that made all "unsafe" calls compiler errors. I'd put it into package javavm so that anyone using JVM-Bridge would have it turned on. -- Ashley Yakeley, Functional Purist Rank 2 Knight, Order of the Polymorphic Typed Lambda Calculus Seattle WA
