This is a ranty request for comments, and the more replies the better.
Without responding to any particular comment, my opinion is that we should have a minimal Prelude with functions like (.) that couldn't be reasonably redefined in any function. Most of the list functions should have to be imported, to encourage people to use a Map or Array and so on. Read should be in Text.Read to encourage people to use Parsec and so on. I wouldn't necessarily be against a minimal Prelude/expanded Prelude split determined by a 'module M where' declaration, as suggested by Sebastian. -- -David House, dmhouse@gmail.com
