RE: Contexts differ in length

| A while ago I sent an email to the glasgow haskell users maillinglist to | explain how the "Contexts differ in length" feature (or bug :-)) | restricted me in writing a haskell application. I was hoping for a | reply, however I didn't receive one (yet). It's a sensible suggestion. Until now no one has said it actually stops them writing the program they want to write. Thanks for bringing it up again. It's not too hard to implement, and I'll try to get to it soon. It's in the same patch of the compiler as Ross's specialisation request, so I'll try to do both at once. Simon

Thank you! It is a kind of show-stopper for my project so I'd be very grateful.
