Re: GHC core plugins

Alright, ticket created: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3843 In any case, for now I am willing to hard-code a new core-to-core pass on the compiler. Any pointers for where I have to look at? Thanks, Pedro 2010/1/27 Simon Peyton-Jones

Yes, I apologise for being slow about this. A good idea would be to create a Trac ticket, so that people can register interest in having the patch by adding themselves to the cc list. The more people that want it, the higher up my priority list...

Better still if everyone adds a comment to the ticket to explain what their pass is like, and why they want the plugin feature.
