RE: "Stricts _"

ghci-6.3 (from CVS) shows me strictness information when I request :info for a data type, like:

[...] Send Mailbox Stricts: _ [...]

I have no idea how to read that output, and it doesn't seem to be documented in the manual either. Does the underscore signify that (in the example above) Mailbox is a strict value? Or is it the opposite?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I simply don't know it. :-)

I don't think :info is working properly in the HEAD right now. It's something we need to fix before 6.4. I suggest just ignoring the spurious output for now. Cheers, Simon
