Re: [Haskell-cafe] Call to arms: lambda-case is stuck and needs your help

I like \case as is proposed. It seems the least controversial one and there's curry (\case ) for two-args, but even that seems a rare case.

For what it's worth, I like the idea of omission being partiality, as in case of and if then. It seems perfectly natural to me, I don't need a \ to tell me that an expression will result in a function. But some do. So I'll go along with and vote for \case. The lack of a lambda case is one of the few "legitimate" complaints I have about Haskell's syntax so it would be marvey to see it in GHC.

+1 for \case, I completely agree with Christopher Done. Cheers, -- Felipe.
