Re: Change Data.Bits.rotate to rotate Integer (unbounded) types

Hi,

Welcome back! Since Data.Bits is not defined in the Haskell 1998 standard, are we free to change the implementation of Data.Bits?

No! If you do things like this, randomly changing the semantics of functions, people will come round to your house with burning pitch forks! If you want to have functions with new semantics, its probably a good idea to give them new names, or do something else to stop changing existing programs. Thanks Neil
