Hello,
I have heard from a number of people that this behavior is not very newbie-friendly. I can see how that is true. I have an API revision coming anyway, so perhaps this is the time to referse the default laziness of HDBC calls (there would be a '-version of everything with laziness enabled, still).
Thoughts?
I think this is a good idea. In general, I think effort should be made to remind people that lazy IO operations break Haskell's type abstractions and can thus lead to unexpected/dangerous behavior. -Jeff
