I'm not even sure why they're called that, but what they *really* are is a mechanism for functions to return multiple values
They are unboxed in a way similar to the way the others are: no constructor in their internal representation. They *do* have an extra level of indirection still, just not the constructor cell that normally goes with it. (This is also why historically their use in GHC has been rather restricted.) -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
