I notice in the source for GHC.Handle that certain functions (e.g. fdToHandle_stat) are in the export list, but are not actually exported (at least, it seems you cannot import them). What mechanism causes these functions to be "hidden", and are they still accessible in some way?
Good question. I often need to export a name to other modules within the hierarchy, but without making them visible outside it. I've "solved" this problem by giving them funky names and adding a comment, but is there a more structured way to do this? A quick google hasn't found one yet. cheers, Fraser.
