Re: [Haskell-cafe] whine and solution about programmers not respecting documentations

Excerpts from Albert Y.C.Lai's message of Mon Jun 28 15:44:34 -0400 2010:

I propose that at each minor version of base, someone picks an implementation randomly.

This has actually been done, in a legitimate language implementation. Check out: http://web.mit.edu/~axch/www/scheme/choices/non-ascii-integer-to-char.html Scheme 48, iirc, adds 1000 to the integer value of an ASCII character. Cheers, Edward
