Is it too late to ask that Data.FiniteMap not die just yet?

FWIW, I'm in favour of retaining Data.FiniteMap for ghc-6.6, to be removed only in 6.8.

There are a number of progs/libs that this affects. It's not that people do not want to use the new Data.Map, but people are worried about having to drop support for earlier compilers.

I'll add my support to this argument.

I think there is a wrapper somewhere that provides the old Data.FiniteMap in terms of the Data.Map implementation.

Darcs patch attached, if it is of interest. Regards, Malcolm
