constant space `minimum'

Dear GHC developers, The library functions like minimum, maximum, should perform in a constant space: probably, it is easy to write them his way. And ghc-6.2.2-pre shows Prelude> minimum [1 .. (10^4)] 1 Prelude> minimum [1 .. (10^6)] *** Exception: stack overflow Prelude> What do you think of this, please? ----------------- Serge Mechveliani mechvel@botik.ru
