Supposing that such a thing is indeed possible is there any chance that it could be folded into GHC? (Then I wouldn't have to ship my own variant of the runtime with buddha.)

A similar feature has been *removed* from Java recently for a good reason (rule of thumb: "If you used it, you did something wrong"). OTOH I see that it's handy for debuggers. -- http://www-i2.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/stolz/ *** PGP *** S/MIME Neu! Ändern Sie den Anfangstag Ihrer Woche
